I think your absolutely right. This is a program where no matter where your ranked at the end of the competition you will have gained a lot from the experience. Also you can't take the word winner to just mean that you showed up and learned, winning means that you went above and beyond the standard of and FRC team, whether that is in competing well or making an amazing chairman's submission, and you deserve to be recognized by all for your achievements. Obviously being in the competition and working hard deserves recognition from your coaches and mentors but that doesn't mean that you should get a standing ovation like the victors of the competition get. Please don't take this as me saying that any of the students in FRC don't matter, I myself am "just another teammate" and being in the FRC is the best part of my life and would be regardless of well my team did but I wouldn't want to get a big award for something everyone did.
