I don't want to get into the Vex vs Tetrix debate that still persists for some. Doesn't the opening up of the allowable list of materials allow for more creativity by teams? As an event organizer for the Alamo FTC Championship, I don't get to see many of the robots as I am busy with all the tasks at hand, but I saw some interesting designs that no kit of part could help create as they were custom parts. This tends to put FTC as more of a hybrid between FLL and FRC as FLL is 100% Lego parts and FRC is 80% custom parts beyond the KOP chassis.
