The CAD isn't going to make itself, and the robot still needs to be assembled, tested, and reiterated afterwards.

Not all of the kids want to be Mech Engineers, FIRST is about the kids trying what they are interested in and finding their passion. Some want to be Engineers, some want to be machine operators, welders, or accountants.
