Jacob,

No, I don't know this. You will have to explain what has happened to your team.

Yes, I am suggesting that as a member of an FRC team and of the FIRST community, when posting in CD, I am very aware of how my posts will impact, affect, or reflect on my team and on the FIRST community. It is part of the bigger picture thinking, Jacob.

FRC is very expensive. Travel to distant competitions is very expensive. Building a sustainable team is difficult and takes much more work than building a robot that will compete for one FRC season. It's not glamorous but it is what will keep the team together and able to compete. If FRC is too expensive due to finances, there are other robotics programs that are available to compete in. If a team is struggling financially and/or with sustainability issues, that does not make FIRST corrupt - it just makes it more difficult to compete in.
