That's one opinion. Others might be "a failed team at least raises awareness that the program exists" or "a failed team provides a starting point for doing it again but better".

I assumed that was included in building the robot, I guess I could replace the word Build with Field but that's just nitpicking. The point is, if two teams are underperforming because they don't have the manpower and are burning their mentors out it's bad. If the teams are close together it might offset the increased logistical issues to merge them.
A failed team reinforces "STEM is too hard" that we're trying to fight.
