"Mission
Our mission is to inspire young people to be science and technology leaders, by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership." (emphasis mine)
Not to say anything against mentors but this program is truly for the students. Being on the field is an incredible experience and students should be the only ones down there.

The point of FIRST is inspire by having students working with and alongside mentors. What could be more inspiring than the direct connection between an adult coach and a student drive team?
