I agree with the sentiments about Breakaway here. It's the season I've been least involved in FIRST since joining in high school so I was more of a spectator than anything else at our regional. It had some good Finals matches but outside of that was very difficult to watch from a spectator view due to the struggles in scoring.
I think FIRST Frenzy is now old enough that the large proportion of FRC has forgotten about it. Per Mark McLeod, the mean FRC team is only 4.4 years old, and the median team is almost certainly even younger. Even the high school students during FIRST Frenzy are probably starting to reach the point in their careers where they may have enough other time commitments that they don't mentor teams anymore.
