For me at least, when it comes down to it, I don't so much look down on FTC for the structure of the program from what the teams do. I think it's a great and needed program. For me, I have never been impressed with how it's competitions have been organized. One of FRC's strengths is there's strict standards to how events are ran.(Blair always tells us the idea is that your supposed to get the same experience no matter where you are). In FTC, there's clearly no standards to that level, and I've heard stories of affiliate partners making things happen at events that would not even remotely fly at an FRC event. I feel like a lot of FRC feels the same way, as we're used to having those quality standards, and that's why we look down on FTC. If FTC really wants to get out of FRC's shadow, there needs to be higher controlled standards on it's qualifying events. I hope this happens, FTC teams deserve to have the same quality experience at events FRC teams have.
