Re: [FTC]: FVC (Vex) VS. FTC (Tetrix)

hahaha. this debate sounds a lot like another one of those with no answers.

I've worked with both platforms and I must say, that I was extremely dissappointed with Tetrix, simply of the compatability of LEGO parts was poor, and then the hardware option is pitiful compared to VEX, but if we look at the competitions...

I prefer FTC over VRC, especially this year with the two games. To me, hot shot just seems more exciting than clean sweep, and I don't think I need to explain this. Not to mention that this year, FIRST's extra materials list is extremely beast, and the designs are even more flexible than last year.

What I'm interested to see is the VEX high powered motor. Right now, the Tetrix kit offers super-motors compared to the VEX/Lego motors. But these more powerful motors allow for more powerful/robust designs. When VEX releases the powerful motors, I think that favor will go back towards VRC, because then, you can do almost EVERYTHING with more powerful motors, which you really can't do in FTC.
