Back in 2012, the then faculty adviser of 2220 was nominated for and won WFFA at North Star. He loves to joke that if he is helping with the robot, the team was in big trouble. While he's definitely a technical guy (at the time he won, he was doing IT at the high school), he was exclusively a non-technical mentor.
Re: Dean's List
The award is fine. Dean's List is not about the "swag bag." It's about recognizing student leaders. Associating that with the monetary cost of a bag of items devalues the award to me.
I do somewhat agree with the idea of giving the team a trophy for Dean's List finalists/winners-- how many teams out there say their goal is to build people? It makes sense to recognize that the achievements of an individual student on a team were made possible by the strong foundation that the team provides.
