The one thing I hope is maybe in a few years they may be able to bring the Vex and FRC competitions closer together in date maybe FRC the first week Vex the next week.
It would be good for overseas teams to keep the cost down. So if they qualify for one competition but not the other they can still go and watch.

Wow don't say that to the kids on our two Vex teams who have worked very hard on their robots. It means just as much to them as the students on our FRC team.
