I gave Clint the long answer in a PM. The shortened version is that the pendulum is swinging.
A decade ago I began by diving headfirst into FRC and related programs. I spent a few thousands of hours over several years. A big chunk of those hours were with an FRC team or FRC events.
Fast-forward to now
So far the pendulum hasn't swung far enough to (re)connect me with any specific FRC team among the several nearby; but who knows, by the time this next summer rolls around, maybe 10-12 kids in the area and will want to pony up about $1500 apiece to learn and practice for 9-12 months, then register as a rookie team in the Chesapeake district.

TL;DR: The robot battery (and your car battery) aren't going to electrocute you unless you stab a positive and negative wire from them into your heart. In which case you have plenty of other problems besides. - Kevin Sevcik [more]
