Anybody seen this? FIRST - VEXrobotics?

[Joe Matt]

We too got interviewed, and I must say, it looks impressive. There are two different types of groups they are focusing on it looks like...

a.) Schools who want to set up one (or more!) teams and then send those teams to regionals/nationals.

b.) Kids getting the kit for Christmas, then competing them in the park, like a mini competition.

From the looks of it, they want to attack the casual segment, along with the giant mega teams who can only have a few students work on the robot. Their idea is to have everyone building these bots. Imagine school wide tournaments!
