It's fine to not want to go the VRC/FTC route, but that "Internet tone of voice" makes that a deliberate insult to both of those. May I remind you that VRC has a college-level competition? And that all of the other college-level robotics competitions that I know about are 1 Vex-sized robot at a time?

And, as has already been pointed out, VRC is modeled after FRC. The first VRC game (back when it was the FVC pilot) was a scaled-down version of the 2004 FRC game, Raising the Bar. So you're saying that the model for a competition is starting to look like that competition (which looks like the model), which is sad?

Insults (and whining, for that matter) take FRC out of the varsity level, in my opinion. It makes whoever does that sound like Mr. Kiffin in Tennessee.
