VEX beats Tetrix and others in bid to develop a robotics competition for the TSA

Great Back to Back Posts!

Rick TYler: The life-status of an equine animal has never affected the degree of corporal punishment administered on this BBS.

and then the signature on Barry Bonzack's post:

No animals were harmed in the making of this post.

I'm pretty excited about all the TSA students starting with the program. We have a large number of TSA groups in Pennsylvania. It will be cool to go to their contests and see what ideas they have.

As a bonus it's another huge pool of students that may get interested in robotics and then feed into FRC. At the least it's a start in getting students interested in engineering.

Congrats go to IFI for not only having a great product in VEX, but also having a marketing team to make deals like this. While we all think that robotics and VEX sell themselves, it takes a huge marketing and sales push to get this kind of commitment.
