Because that would blur an already hazy line of what is the student's role and what is the mentor's role. IMHO, the mentor should be there to guide the student and not do it for them. The way each team inspires is entirely up to them. The role of driver is the only limitation that FIRST gives to a team about who does what. I think it should stay that way to allow each team the flexibility they need.
If you want a student only activity, there are many STEM programs that do that. None as well as FIRST does in my estimation.

If you come to a FRC event to see a robot competition, you are missing the point.
