FTC's finals aren't anything like Einstein, but the program itself is much larger. There's two programs because FIRST was not willing to compromise on the "varsity" aspect of FRC, but still wanted to get lots of kids involved in FIRST.
I never said FTC kids were inferior. I just said FTC isn't interesting to me. I don't want to do FLL either. I just want to dedicate my energy to FRC. Simple as that.
