Oddly enough, money was the deciding factor for us picking FTC... because Girl Scouts only sponsors us for FIRST.

Personally, I'm reserving judgment on the whole FTC vs VRC matter until I see how both progress in the next few years. That will make more difference to me than the technical specifications of either kit.
