I also thought FIRST's whole culture was to "create a world where science and technology are celebrated and where young people dream of becoming science and technology leaders" and didn't have much to do with all 3000+ FRC robots being their own special sunflower but maybe I picked the wrong day to stop drinking my Rockstar Sugar Frees.
