If that's what you believe, then I understand your frustration with the results. It's no wonder that you find fault with FIRST's execution of their job. But if you look around, you'll probably notice that many people understand FIRST's job quite differently -- including those who actually work for (and directly with) FIRST.
FIRST is not about robots. It's not even about robot games. It's about promoting engineering as an exciting field. It's about Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology, through collaborations between education and industry, students and mentors, schools and communities, companies, teams, and individuals. The robots are just a convenient (and entertaining) point of focus for people's attention.
