Why not?

I have, about sixty miles from my (middle of nowhere) school, a small consortium of FTC teams (five, I believe), all sponsored by the same company (Corning Glass). None of these schools do FRC.

Now that I know that they can build minibots, I am contacting them and letting them know about the opportunity to participate in the festivities. The more people coming to FRC competitions, the more people are being exposed to FRC. This includes school administrators, parents, sponsors, students, teachers, etc, etc, etc.

I hope they decide to get involved. I hope they build awesome FTC Minibots and show up and loan them out. I hope they put '1551' on them...
