IFI vs FTC? Both offering competitions for next year!

[IndySam]

I don't understand why there has to be a IFI vs FTC battle. Each has their own strengths and weaknesses, why do we need to decide which is better?

Here in Indiana we have great Vex program thanks in no small part to the efforts of Dan Ward. The one kit competitions have been a great success.

FTC is a great rout for programs that don't have the budget or other resources for FRC.

Each is a great training ground for new students joining an FRC team

We haven't mentioned other programs like BEST who have their own strengths.

I know FRC teams who use one or a couple of these competing programs for pre-season FRC training with great success.

Can't we just all get along.
