(They used to use modified RC-cars before the days of EDUbot/Vex.) 
And with that in mind... If there is one thing I learned from FIRST, it is that when presented with a challenge, creative thinking and some sound sense will get you a solution to any problem in life. So that only means one thing...
I guess it'll be time to start the SECOND Vex Challenge!

This whole entire scenario is what confuses me. They are looking for alternatives but as far as I can tell none exisistt to the level of Vex. They are going to reinvent the wheel and quite frankly that is dumb.
