Also, curious to hear if you enjoyed FTC or Vex more. I actually enjoyed Vex more, even though I went a lot further while on my high school's FTC team.

VEX AI was a really interesting experience. We made a reveal video for our AI bots if you want to check it out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZAHKPJXJEfQ&ab_channel=Millb...

As for which competition I like more, I would say that VEX competitions are better run, and it is easier to advance to Worlds and be successful. However, I prefer the freedom you get with FTC because there are a lot more parts you can use, and you have more opportunities to take advantage of custom manufacturing processes such as 3D printing, laser-cutting, and CNC machining.
