Let's talk about the hierarchy of needs for teams.

1. Build Robot
2. Build functional Robot
3. Build reliable Robot
4. Build elimination caliber Robot
5. Do other stuff a team should do

"Attend a competition" has to be somewhere in there. A school-sponsored team usually has a much easier time getting permission from the school for students to do that.

That's one opinion. Others might be "a failed team at least raises awareness that the program exists" or "a failed team provides a starting point for doing it again but better".
