If we want to start that discussion, there are plenty of other threads to do it. Let's try to avoid derailing this one.
It is a distinct difference between the two programs, and mentor involvement and cost to teams are directly affected by this.

I also think that FRC is the technological pinnacle of high school robotics no one I've ever shown this to, especially an engineer, expects to find high school students doing anything this advanced. Like the comment one of our new mentors gave at the end of the season was: "this was more complex than my final project from college."

Another question for everyone: What do you think the purpose of FRC is other than what could be accomplished by another program? What does or could FRC do better than anything else?

PS I'm asking out of pure curiosity. I am completely invested in FRC and would only quit if it ceased to exist.
