Likewise, absolutely nothing says that you can't be in one, two, three, four, or more competitions. Many a team does FTC/VRC (and FLL, in a supporting role) in the fall and FRC in the spring.

Predetermined kit to work from is NOT a limit. See the early FRC rules once again. (I understand that sometimes a drill was included--it was used for building the robot, then driving the robot.) See the creativity shown by the teams back then.

Humans used to use stone tools and hunt with sticks. We figured it out eventually, the same can be said for FRC evolution. Our school has learned to understand and support our efforts(and missed days) due to the effort we have made the past 8 years to change the culture.


I don't see why you feel the need to be hostile. I understand your position and respect your view. How about you do the same for me?
