I know there is a slight tone of elitism that comes into play when FTC is talked about as a highschool program (see post here for a much longer thread on that), however, in most cases, FTC presents an equal, if not better, alternative to FRC for schools or organizations that cannot form a FRC team for whatever reason.
In the end, all the FIRST programs as they are, are effective in their specific roles. FIRST, as an international organization has put lots of consideration into these roles. In my opinion, it isn't reasonable for a state to overrule the national standard.

First is not perfect and neither is fim.
Fim is in Michigan which gives huge grants to run FRC. In Michigan schools can afford it. So it makes sense that they did this. However is this a good change right now nationally maybe not because not every state has grants like Michigan.
