(Actually, there is four with Junior FIRST LEGO League).
Do not treat Vex and FLL as inferior because they may not get as much exposure as FRC on these boards. Just remember, FLL has seven times more teams than FRC from twenty additional countries.

In addition, Vex and FLL teams get younger kids involved, possibly bringing in more sponsors, etc. These teams also get the younger kids ready for and excited about FRC. Without FLL and most recently Vex, I believe there would be not as many FRC programs and students.

Everyone needs to start working with what they are given, and start appreciating FIRST, not complaining about what they think FIRST is doing wrong. - Marygrace [more]
