I asked a simple question and have not gotten an answer.
The question was: " Why do adults find the need to be on a veteran teams drive team?"

Are you not also bothered by adults contributing to the strategy, design, and construction? From your posts it seems you explicitly stated that.
But to answer you question about drive team.
(A) adults don't drive, and they may not interact with referees. They may serve as coaches on the field.
(B) because students may need a mature presence to help them focus, or to prevent them from overreacting to setbacks in the heat of competition.
(C) to increase communications between alliance partners.
(D) other.
All that is from my own experience as drive coach. This year, a senior student took over the role and it worked out great, but I was prepared to step in if needed. But I can only speak for myself and my team; who are you trying to speak for? Run your team according to your best practices. If you can't stand seeing what you think are other teams doing otherwise, then I don't know what to tell you. I've already given you a link to an organization (which my team also participates in, by the way) that more closely aligns with what you've expressed.
