We already got our vex classroom kit, which the students love so far, and are thinking of ordering a ftc kit if there is an event in this area and we like the game. I guess we'll know tomorrow. But I do hope it's just the parts we get and no major modifying or machining allowed, that's one of the main reasons we want to do ftc and vex.
You're missing the point. Just because machining parts is/may be allowed does not mean your team or any team actually has to. Use the suggestions above and just build simple and effective robots.
