If you can't be forthcoming about who you guys are and what you do why should I care? I need more than some impassioned plea on a messageboard.
Remember that The Blue Allicance is a third-party, not an official part of the FRC program. And FTC is getting better at this with the newly-created Yellow Alliance.

I think you'll find that FTC teams are very "forthcoming" about who they are and what they do, just as any FRC team would be. But FTC competitions are just generally less of a spectator sport (At least for now). Why does everything have to be defined by how accessible the match results are? I don't see the letters "MR" anywhere in "FIRST"
