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.

Sorry, I'm having trouble understanding if you're joking/being sarcastic. Care to elaborate on what you mean?
Towards OP: Personally, I think a large part of what FRC is is having the robot be the "means". In my FRC experience, my team was a "team" due to team hours being counted and dues being paid, but it had relaxed atmosphere where the robot wasn't the main issue. The two definitions you gave don't have to be mutually exclusive, as others have pointed out.
