It won't work until people are willing to stop shooting it down. FRC is supposed to be (in part) a cooperative competition of great minds in science and technology. I don't think there's any group of competitors out there that are better candidates for this type of design activity. The parameters are extremely strictly defined, the underlying technology (parts/materials) are virtually identical across the entire competition, and there is a clear competitive advantage for this in terms of having a successful match.
I'm not saying it's going to be done this year. All I'm saying is that if competing companies (real life, real stakes) can come together under standards, so can FRC teams.
