You can refuse to participate further as well. Those are some choices (not all?) you have the right now. But FIRST decided this is what the championship event they run for the competition they run should be like. So that's probably what they will be doing and they sure can if they want.
PS: I'm not (didn't?) say you should quit I said that if it doesn't align with your philosophies then you don't have to stay with the program and complain, though that too is an option (clearly).

I think FIRST and everyone here complaining probably have the same goals, we just have different ideas on how to accomplish them. I'm sure the people who thought of this idea are very smart, but there are thousands of people in the community overwhelmingly against this idea, and they are also very smart. Chances are they didn't think this through and it's in FIRST's best interest to listen. It would be very silly of them not to.
