I guess I glossed over that in my earlier post. I apologize.

The other theme that we noted was that FLL students seem to form a balanced mix of technical and social interests. That aligns well with the fact that a large chunk of the FLL challenge is absolutely not about the robot. Successful FRC teams have a significant non-technical side as well. But there's a palpable lack of continuity through the mid-level competitions. They tend to focus on the robot, and it appears that students without the strong technical inclinations lose interest.

The FLL emphasis on real-world problems and solutions seems to provide an environment where many students feel enabled to contribute on a global scale. That is missing from FTC, and is only vaguely present in most FRC teams.
