We have a couple engineers of non-mechanical fields-- a nuclear engineer and a chemical engineering PhD. They're great people to have around, but as I understand it it was a bit of a learning curve for them to work on an FRC robot. Ultimately, their greatest value to the team for a while wasn't extensive technical knowledge of FRC robots, but rather the problem solving and design skills they brought to the table and taught to the students.
