Re: Which is Truely cheaper?
My team's budget for each year is usually around 50k. There is no way in my mind that vex could ever come close to that.
Even if we did scale back to just the purdue regional, it would still be $6000 for registration, plus whatever for other parts, and prototyping (call it another $2000). Call it 8k a year for a half-decent robot. Vex could never come close to that. Besides, if you wanted full awesomeness, I could imagine that our budget could easily skyrocket to 70k, adding another regional, more off-season prototyping, and more toys for the programmers/electronics team.
