Re: Ftc World Championship
I will preface this by saying I do not participate in ftc although I have volunteered at multiple events.
To start cost
FTC has an annual registration cost of $275 compared to $5000 for frc
FTC teams pay $1,000 for world's where as frc pays $5,000
When you are talking about those price gaps you can not expect the same presentation value.
I can see the frustration of not being in the dome but the bottom line is frc does come first and probablt always will. It's bigger and sponsors/spectators like bigger along with it being the clear flagship program of FIRST.
Also in regards to the video angle thing I should remind you only one of those feeds are actually from first a lot of video is actuallt shot by teams. Nothing stopping you guys from doing the same.
Its a smaller scale robotics program and will be treated forever as so. I'd have to recommend vex over ftc just for the fact that you will be treated as the flagship program. Or, if you are a high school team raise some money and do FRC. I and plenty others would be willing to help.
