You have to take into account that FTC might actually be helping more then FRC, because FTC can reach way more schools and teams, due to its much lower cost. FTC teams might not be as impressive to an outsider as a FRC team, but FTC helps pull in more students into the ideas of engineering because of that much wider reach.
Where on earth did I say that? You're mistaking the micro goals of FIRST (inspiring students) with the macro goals of FIRST (cultural change). FRC is better at the macro goal. I did not say anything about the micro goal.
