Just my opinion.
I read this yesterday and had to wait till my thoughts cooled down to answer this.

My team is a team where everything we do during the build season AND competition is done by students and supervised by mentors. Our robot this year was designed by students and mentors in partnership.

Here's some food for thought. Not a single mentor maintained the robot at an event this year. Our pit was entirely student run.

We also don't have deep pockets, comparatively.

I think you need to do some research before you go making accusations like this.

Success doesn't always equate to match wins. It's about the wins off the field.
