I can't say that I've seen favoritism on my former team, but rather decisions made based on the team's "legacy", rather than on common sense, or what would be most conductive to winning.
Have you looked into starting an FTC team? I did FTC and FRC concurrently for three years, and honestly, the FTC team was a better overall experience. There's not as much money, or as much prestige, but FTC is growing rapidly, and there's less politics among fewer people.
