I don't believe FRC will ever be boring for the general participants. It definitely won't for me. Even if I were to continue building my Ri3D robot for 6 weeks, I don't think it would get boring. There would always be improvements that I want to make.

Yes and one could make those improvements by simply buying more stuff and bolting it together. So that doesn't mean you are gaining any new skills as a fabricator or an engineer.
One could fill that time by building a practice bot but again that could be more consumption.
One could build a whole field to test on so that will fill more time maybe that would teach some fabrication skills assuming you didn't buy most of that as well.
The point still remains - we are entirely focused on that robot.
Not on all the opportunities some of these tools would offer.
