Re: Correct use of FIRST terms - use them, love them!

well, since the thread has been resurrected...let me add..

It's not the "Vex program". Vex is the common name used for the robotics design platform. "FIRST Tech Challenge" is the name for the FIRST program.

FIRST Tech Challenge (or FTC) has 4 levels of tournaments - Local or League Tournaments; Qualifying Tournaments which allow winning teams to compete in their nearest Championship Tournament. A Championship Tournament is akin to the FRC Regionals. And the FIRST Tech Challenge World Championships.
