Re: A Request

Thanks for the responses and discussions so far everyone. There were many good points made.

To clarify my intent, I wasn't trying to say the programs were equal in all respects. FRC certainly has a stronger external presence, perhaps especially online, and is stronger as far public appeal/spectators. I also don't mean to ask for people to like or to value FTC as much as FRC.

I was primarily reacting to statements that say, to a greater or (much more often) lesser degree, "FRC is for the real roboticists. FTC robots are child's play."

Both programs certainly have their pros and cons both for individual teams and those teams' communities.
