I know my team that we're putting together will not pay more for a Lego based robot than we will for a Vex robot.
I'm not sure where you are coming from. This kit does not look cheap at all. I also don't know where this idea of a "Lego based robot" is coming from. The only thing the is Lego based is the controller. You aren't going to be seeing any other Lego parts from what i've been hearing.

Remember, no one is forcing you to change. You can always go play with your VEX parts in the new VEX Competition.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
