So you're saying that a prospective team should deny themselves the inspiration and all the other benefits FIRST can bring, just because they may lack some resources?

A prospective team should do some research ahead of time to determine the resources, time commitment, etc. a FRC team requires to reach a level of success they find acceptable (whether that be complete a season, contend for RAS, play in elims, etc.). If they can't reach those amounts of resources, time, etc., there is probably another program that will better serve their needs.

Just my 2 cents.
