As far as I remember it had nothing to do with resources, but more about other projects and opportunities that took priority over FRC. (correct me if I'm wrong)
They had really interesting robots in 2012 and 2013.
Fun fact - team 23 is one of the few to boast a Woodie Flowers Award winner (Mike Bastoni) and also be a part of the Hall of Fame.

There were various reasons. Some political (school politics, budget process changes, etc.) and some other projects (they competed in high school battlebots, electrathon racing, and possibly others).
23 iirc got chairman's and Mr bastoni got wooden flowers at the same time.
The 2012 robot is by far my favorite, with the 1999 bot being second. The 2012 bot can be seen in my video.
