Re: [FTC]: EXPENSIVE!!!!

It's not fair, though, to think of first-year costs as the same as on-going costs. As long as FIRST doesn't replace the kit (they have promised they wouldn't), we can amortize these costs over several seasons. We have enough Vex parts to build five first-class competitive VRC robots, but we've been accumulating those parts for three years. Right now I think VRC is cheaper than FTC, but I'll know for sure in another year or two.
