Re: [BB]: Regional Variations & Bagging It
FRC is definitely a Varsity Sport.
We do both VEX and FRC now. I dont see any differences in regards to the demand for time spent on design and programming, while working with the kids. However, the resources necessary to be successful at both are vastly different.
Resources meaning mentors, facilities, materials, funding, fabrication, and $$$.
I dont think the comparisons in this thread are apples to apples.
Certain team goals can be met with both FRC and VEX, but certainly not all of them. If one of the missions of FIRST is to inspire kids to see/experience what's out there in industry, then FRC is certainly the best at providing that avenue, hands down IMO.

At first, "water game" was funny. Then it went to silly. Now it's just dumb. Not to mention unrealistic for FIRST. - EricH [more]
