Basically, there is no way a Vex team built mini-bot will ever outpreform a decent FRC team's specific-to-them one. Vex teams will have to trade a lot of speed in deployment for a universally attaching Minibot and deployer. As long as the FRC team's mini bot isn't terribly slow it'll pretty much win because they will be able to make it deploy faster.
you kinda totaly missed the point,
