Maybe you can describe what you think FIRST and FRC is all about. We can't tell if the team has lost sight of something, or has changed to seeing it differently.

2015 we are in the middle of switching coaches and end up making a mediocre robot and winning no awards for the first time in living memory.

You just described about half the FRC teams in existence.

Yes teams would like to build better robots. Yes teams would like to have killer mentors and vast finances. Yes teams would like to get awards. But are bigger goals being met? Are more people being exposed to and inspired by STEM? Are people learning things they wouldn't otherwise get a chance to do?

I can understand your frustration if the team isn't doing what they did back during what you consider the heyday. Maybe you can give the new team members that vision. But if values greater than winning are being accomplished, maybe that's what your team is meant to do right now.
