FRC recruits the "best" students? With our FRC team (and I'm hoping most FRC teams), they try recruiting anyone that is interested. They don't just find the people with the highest grades and only asking them to join, or exclude people that are very interested but aren't a straight A student. It's not like they don't let one of the "best" students join FTC because they are good. FTC requires a lot more commitment and time then FRC, but FRC does get a lot more media and sponsorship's then FTC. In both competitions its about learning Engineering, teamwork, programming, GP ect, and having fun while you're doing it. I'm guessing FTC's Winning alliance captain will go in every competition because this year in Maryland, it went down to the 3rd place Inspire, so I think the Captain will go next year, that's just my two cents.
