Knufire, I think the micro/macro description you give is good. I have told people more than once that the scale, size, speed, etc... for FRC is better at that kind of inspiration than other robotics competitions. If I read your post correctly, you aren't saying that it bad for micro inspiration, just inefficient because of cost. I think that depends on the size of your team. We have two FTC teams now. To serve the number of kids we have on our FRC team we would need seven or eight more. And it would cost more than FRC. And there would be many fewer relationships built amongst our team members, both students and mentors.
