I agree with many of the comments you made, however, this statement above is much harder to do than you may think.

Most of the teams in my local area, Richmond VA, are based out of local high schools. These schools have rules regarding who may participate in their extracurricular activities. Students from different schools in the same county may not be able to participate. To bring Joe Student into your school for robotics would be troubling to many school administrators.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
