Such a statement would take the emphasis of the program away from inspiration and put it on to competition.
If students are more inspired and have a better experience having mentors design and build the robot, that is their prerogative, not anyone else's.
Being told how you're supposed to be inspired isn't very inspiring. I learned that in high school.
