No, not really. I've seen teams with engineers, and I think that there's nothing wrong with that. It's just a different perspective, a different outlook, and a different experience. I'm not against engineers by any means, though the "reverse pride" may be true. My team does pride ourselves on the fact that the students build the robot. We like it that way. We actually did have one engineer helping us this year, and it was nice to get some outside assistance, but most of the design and construction remained with the students. I'm not faulting anyone else for having engineers to help, but I like our way better. It's just the way I've gotten used to.
