What better way to promote FIRST, than to take a small group of people, give them a "loaner" persay, robot, and let them experience a FIRST competition for themselves?
All in all, a great way to promote all aspects of FIRST.

It would be cool if you didn't quite finish that robot and had helped the new team finish it so they could gain some good hands on experience. They would also probably be more attached as it would be part theirs, not just a loaner...
We also indirectly benefit from those rookie teams having well-built and working drivebases. It helps raise the level of performance across the board, making for a better competitive environment.
