It is the JV to the FRC Varsity. It is slower, less exciting, less of a spectacle. From my perspective it is an excellent tool to use to feed students into the Varsity program which we can use to actually change the culture.
The way I read it, it seemed to me that you thought FTC wasn't able to help change the culture, something FRC could.

I think it isn't the job of one competition level of FIRST to change the culture, but rather all of FIRST as an organization. That'd be like saying that only doctors with a PhD. have the job of helping people overcome sickness.
