It will not compete in any official competitions, and is in fact not fully FIRST legal (they used the Canipede for their controller instead of the FRC mandated cRIO, among other things). You are correct, their purpose was to educate (and entertain along the way), and help teams understand what is possible in this year's game, understand a bit about the design and strategy process and help inspire all teams. I highly recommend you check out the full complement of YouTube videos, they explain their purpose, and provide a lot of great information.
