Well, since there are MI FTC teams I'm guessing they are "allowed" to participate. However, since there are no official MI FTC events and since the newly formed non-profit in Michigan is concentrated on FRC and since the press release flat out ignores the existence of any FTC teams in MI, I'm guessing these efforts, no matter how cost effective at achieving the mission they may be, will go entirely unsupported. I suppose all of this is somehow connected to the larger FTC announcement made last year that was discussed here:

The link to the FIRST announcement is now only a blank page, but perhaps someone here still has the verbiage.

Again I don't begrudge MI FRC efforts here, but it is puzzling why one of FIRST's programs is just left out of such an important statewide endeavor.
