Not fond of the way this is phrased and presented... Any team that is registered with FIRST is a FIRST team. They may not be doing all the things you mentioned, but that could be due to any number of reasons-- team age, student maturity, mentor experience or number of mentors, lack of school district support, the list could go on forever.

By all means we can highlight and encourage good FIRST team practices and efforts, but lets not imply that those that are currently not doing certain things, are somehow 'lesser' by having not done them-- it doesn't help further the cause.
