I've found myself in a similar situation. My team has been doing FTC for quite a while and we just recently moved on to FRC my junior year. I understand how you may feel that those years may have been wasted, but even though I will only have 2 years of FRC, it still feels very rewarding for the short time I have participated.

Word of advice, rookie year is typically the easiest to get to worlds with a little preparation cause there is less competition for the rookie specific awards. Dont wait till you actually have an FRC team to start outreach so you can increase the chances of getting Rookie all stars (an award that qualifies you for worlds). One of the main reasons my team got it was that we already had a lot of outreach programs started from the years that we did FTC.
