I think we should all keep an open mind about all different kind of robotics competition. Each of those competitions has their own purpose and ways of running things, and they all have different effect on the people participating in them...
There is no one-way of judging which competition is better than another, nor should we argue about it. Everyone doing the competitions have their own point of view about how the competition change their lives, some might be from positive influences, some might be negative influences.
We cannot sit outside as an outsider and look at the stereotype of each competition and use that as evidence for saying how bad the competition is.
Let's have an open mind and accept that fact that everyone doing each of the competition will learn something from that experience...
By the way, to me, having different robotics competition means more varieties for the people out there to choose from. There are many factors contribute to one's decision of which competition to do (such as money, resources, location, and people), and having different option allow more people to do any one of the competition instead of just one.
