Just taking a friendly shot in the dark here... 
The focus could be on inspiring students and on changing/inspiring the community around the team.
Some people (but not all) are silly enough to suggest that in FRC the robots are only a part of the "means" and that they aren't the "end".
Others have different motivations.
YMMV.
