Re: New FTC Platform

I think a lot of this discussion comes back to the idea that this kit in "unnecessary" considering there is already a competent kit out there, VEX. However we need to keep in mind that the reason a new kit is required is because of the apparent split between IFI and FIRST. So for the short amount of time that has passed so far FIRST has produced a pretty decent kit. If you look back at when VEX first came out it wasn't much better than this, however IFI continued to develop it. The question right now is how will this kit grow over the years?
