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

This is actually the first time I've heard of TSA, being on the west coast. I'll have to look into them more.

But congratulations to Vex -- it's a great set of tools =]

One thing that everyone needs to consider is -- to make it so that more people participate, you also need to provide good stepping stones -- to lower the entry barrier.

I really loved Vex when I started using it because of it's well-documented parts -- you could basically hand the Inventor's guide to someone -- tell them to read it -- and reasonably expect them to know how the system works.
