success is not measured by the number of teams at an event. It is measured by how well the event is managed and flows (think volunteers and staff). A healthy bottom line is also a top priority. Without the +$100k required to hold one of these events, all the teams are out of luck no matter how full the event is.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
