As much as I love FTC, I think it's the fact that FRC is the flagship robotics program for FIRST. FIRST has put the most time into FRC than all of the other robotics programs, and FRC is the most likely to raise heads and "change the culture", so to speak. I absolutely love FTC and FLL as well, and they do deserve a real championship. FRC though has so many people involved and recruits the best students, engineers, and generates the most public interest. It would make sense for it to be highlighted the most at an event with unanticipated media coverage. Just my 2 cents.
