Yes! There are other forms of competition where all one can use are COTS hardware, say in some classes of motorsports such as the Porsche Supercup. The competition is no less fierce. There is no lack of learning opportunities for the participants.
Is FIRST Lego League not inspiring for its intended audience? In FLL, the competitors can only use un-modified Lego manufactured parts which seem to qualify them to be described as COTS parts.
