I\'ve been thinking the same thing reading these threads. The team I worked with in Colorado couldn\'t go on because the fundraising and time was just too much for the teacher, mentors and school. Vex and FTC seem like the programs trying to make robotics doable for all middle and high schools around the country, so good for them. Two programs is better than one anyway, so schools have a choice. That way if one program isn\'t good, gets too expensive or is managed poorly, there will be another option out there for schools. If these programs can get affordable robots into thousands of schools around the country and hold great competitions, then I hope they both do great.
I\'m back east now and may try to help start a team out here. I would never try to start an FRC team, but it sounds like I can start a Vex team and maybe a FTC team depending on the cost. Plus the two programs should provide some good incentive to keep their costs down for the schools, which is really all that matters.
