Because First is forcing a cost to teams that is unneeded. Why did they choose FTC? All the FTC batteries are is c batteries. First lacks one major thing to end all this crap. COMPETITION. If First had a competitor then alot of the BS they do would not happen because they would lose teams. It would also force First to keep costs lower. Imagine the price FTC would be if VEX was not around. Also the FTC VEX battle shows that if teams prefer the VEX style more and i do not blame them.
Its cheaper to enter competitions even cheaper if you have more then 1 team
They have better parts
Their prices are cheaper for parts
If you run an event you get money for it
Championships are in Disney instead of the most dangerous city in the US
