FVC changed to FTC this year. Many people still called it "Vex" - in fact, CD still calls the sub-forum Vex. (Note to mods - need to start a FTC forum and move threads accordingly. A big task, methinks.)

Danny, will you have no problem next year if FTC is still called Vex? Or if the new FRC controller is mistakenly attributed to IFI? I can see those mistakes happening for several years to come, to the consternation of LEGO and NI. Why shouldn't this community be as sensitive toward our international teams and compatriots?

Does it matter a rat's patootie in the long run? No. But there's no need to intentionally disrespect the feelings of others.
