Re: FAHA: The Effects of Vex

In my own opinion, if a CA judge's and FIRST's goal is to promote science and technology in the world, it should not just be spreading the message of FIRST but also education in general. If your team is doing just that, then I see no reason why the judges should look away from giving your team the Chairman's award if you start VEX teams and not FTC teams. Their true judgment should only be based on 1) how much the community is impacted by your efforts and 2) how many students you spread STEM to (science technology engineering and math). The fact that you are starting more VEX teams should not effect a real judge's opinions about your team.
