Why not just address this issue, then? I don't feel that the problem is FIRST giving the wrong programming challenge, more like teams are not addressing that challenge correctly. Like you said, most teams' code fails to generalize across seasons. Therefore, if we as a community emphasized this idea to teams, we would see better results rather than throwing a completely irrelevant "challenge" at them. I know my team does not try to write generalized code, rather we practically start from scratch each year.

You just outlined the problems that teams need to overcome with the Computer Science challenge from FIRST; now we need to put more emphasis on the teams to address these issues.
