Re: VEX beats Tetrix and others in bid to develop a robotics competition for the TSA
Actually, in a way FIRST can be acknowledged for much of the success and the successful rate that VEX is growing and making inroads in areas and schools. Many of the people that are passionate about VEX and who are growing it, currently have very strong ties to FIRST and are products, themselves, of the FIRST program, initiative, philosophy,competitions or have been - taking their experiences and knowledge gained from one program and pouring them into another.
It doesn't have to be a versus situation but will remain so as long as it is treated as such.
Just a thought.
