I still stand by my statement that Vex is an all around better platform. I don't like to use computers just to drive my robot, I like having my own controllers at competitions, I like having tank treads and not having to machine any parts at all (I have never had to build a vex robot with more than a hacksaw), I like IFI... if there are flaws in the Vex kit it's in the sprocket / chain system and plastic gears under high loads, but you can design around those and it's not like FTC's one upped Vex there.
