A Little Thought Experiment

That question was VERY vague.

The best at doing what?

Winning FRC matches is not how FRC teams earn the Chairman's award; and there is way more to "robotics" (and educating/inspiring students) than FRC.

I recommend collaborating with your community to come up with a plan for transforming your community. It will be the hardest fun you ever have, and will pay off wildly for you and anyone else who joins you.

I imagine the question was left vague for a reason.

1) Time to work during the school day, maybe in the form of a class so us students could get credit.
2) Integrate FIRST into the education system. From my view point, I have learned many skills that I wouldn't have learned in a typical High School class.
3) More equipment and space.
4) More collaboration and volunteering of FRC students with FTC and FLL teams.
5) Overall community support, spreading FIRST values within the community showing the impact this program has on its members.
6) FIRST FRC varsity letters

Hence my suggestion that the OP should think broadly, and not focus too much on the one thing that happens to be in front of his nose at that one moment.

FRC tunnel vision, and FIRST tunnel vision, are afflictions that run rampant at this time of the year, for obvious reasons.
