The statistics on my team don't lie.
Latter first: statistics do lie, and your sample group (regardless of how large your former team is) is too small to make definitive statements.

Former second: I haven't seen anything like that. I've seen bright kids get sidetracked by drugs and family issues, but never by robotics. I'm sure it happens occasionally but it's not common, and likely has deeper roots.
