This is interesting. It leads me to the question - have you achieved your goals even with the smaller Club? If others are already making and using and FRC bot, are they learning and being inspired from that? (Understanding that those who want more could certainly join the club.) As first glance, it sounds like good exposure and an intriguing in-between level for those that don't want the full rigor of and FRC build, but if it's hurting outcomes overall that's certainly not a good thing.
