Agreed, I've designed a we combat robots and then lessons learned there are entirely different than from FIRST. I really can't see how learning and improving design skills are a bad thing.
Most combat robot teams operate on less of a budget than a FIRST team, know they are likely to get damaged, are prepared for the fact, and almost always repair and rebuild (often before the next fight!).
