Many people prefer working by themselves, but the advantage of working with others and working with rookies is that you will pass your knowledge down to them while working so. This is important especially for seniors in a team to make sure to work with rookies and members who will still be on the team next year in order to pass their experience down to others. Mentors will always be there to help as well, but its important for students to mentor/help/work with other students as well. The students who teach newer members also gain experience, so its a benefit for all. Making sure seniors pass down their info to younger members is also key for team sustainability.

Also, working in a team environment is great experience for the work force. Your going to have to learn to work in a team eventually outside of FRC as well.
