Vex Controller with FRC Robot

[R.C.]

Hello CD,

In our robotics class we have a ton of Vex Controllers and the software for the controllers. Also we have a lot of scrap aluminum, chassis and pretty much we are stocked with KOP items from the past 6 years. We thought of making it so our Robotics class gets the chance to rebuild some of our old bots and current team members would teach the class. But one of the main problems is that we don't want to fork out 2k plus for a whole set of electronics for only one bot. We have old Breakout boards, motors, speed controllers and other items needed for a FRC size robot. Soooo...

Is there anyway to interface the VEX controller so it powers pretty much a FRC SIZE bot with FRC motors and pneumatics? If not, what would be a cheap alternative to a controller and easily programmable.

Thanks,

-RC
