Interesting - I hadn't considered that. But I think I see where it's coming from. The idea that FIRST has national goals in changing the culture, and that is a goal for every team, especially those that compete in the CA competition.

The CA, however, is not really a head-to-head competition, in the sense that you don't really get to see who it is precisely that you're competing with. Since there's an opportunity cost associated with competing effectively in CA, especially for small teams, you'd rather compete face-to-face with the people you know (home regional teams) in the robot competition than compete behind closed doors in the CA.
