Re: FAHA: The Effects of Vex

I would never be reluctant to put anything my team does in the Chairman's Essay. Just remember what FIRST literally means (For Inspiration etc.). Why does it matter if a team helps to spread the "message of FIRST" through a non-FIRST medium? From what I have heard, the VRC program seems to have a number of things going for it over FTC such as price, accessibility of parts, the existing stockpiles teams have of Vex, the wealth of knowledge and experience already out there that make this a great medium for teams to spread the appreciation of science and technology.

If a FIRST judge/adviser/etc. were to hypothetically not give a team the CA simly because of their affiliation with the Vex program, what does that say about the award in the first place? This is why I do not believe that this idea would ever happen. If it did, well...
