What are you concerned about? Read some of my earlier posts in this thread. It is up to the students about how much they get out of the program. FIRST sets up a program to succeed, all students need to do is commit. You need to stop worrying about those who dont commit because it is their choice. If they dont want to take advantage of this opportunity it is their own problem. Kids will have more fun when they get involved, but they need to take it upon themselves. If they dont want to commit, just go with it. Focus on teaching those who are commited to working and doing their jobs, even if it has absolutely nothing to do with the robot.

I read those posts and I agree. I am aware of the students choice to do what they wish to do. I am concerned for the growth of the group of kids who don't have a role. Eventually pushing some quantity of the members of FIRST in a direction that is not encapsulated in the ideals of the program.
