Hm... but do you get to see how vastly those teams improved? Get to compete against a team that changed strategy, added features, and more for a chance to be the best?
Do you get to be inspired by designs to add to your next competitions?
You don't if you only see them once, maybe twice, a year at a large event. No one iterates for outreach events, no one gets inspired in the technical sense from a robot that hasn't seen a match in months.
You do if you get to compete at more events.
