Their vision may be two perfect teams but they are about to leave us with 0 functional teams.
It might not be FIRST orthodoxy to say this, but FRC is not the only thing worth doing. There are lots of other organized activities that can be fun and educational, and you can accomplish lots without the formality of organizations like FIRST, too. If there are other groups you could join instead of FRC, like TSA for instance, I'd recommend leaving and going there. If there aren't things like that available, I'd say look at doing projects on your own, or with a couple of friends, maybe with the support of a teacher or a parent. If what you are reporting is accurate, this team (these teams) are not going to survive, and you don't want to be around for the implosion.

Just 2c
