Plenty. VEX (was) run by IFI. See the second announcement down in the Portal. It's cheaper, it's excellently run, and it's completely independent of FIRST. The size, material, and challenge difficulty are comparable--an FTC team could easily build a robot to compete in VEX, and vice versa, though rules in both could easily block a robot built by the other group.
