I'm not arguing that a school-based system is the ideal solution, only that is the most practical for the most teams. Sure, as the FIRST community we can work towards other solutions that are more beneficial to FRC teams and FIRST's missions, however that's a larger undertaking. The school-based solution solves a great many issues for many FRC teams, and sticking with it is frequently the path of least resistance. Having to fight upstream to form a multi-school or community team may end up jeopardizing team stability and sustainability in many instances.
