Oh man, this.
Here is an entire semester of a highschool Java intro class (with many things done using much better/more advanced than the rest of the class including the teacher did). Even the most basic programming done in FRC would be A material in my school's programming class.
In my book the team building experience of the kids training the engineers in the operations on the field would be invaluable. It might not get a trophy but you win far more in the long run.
