If you don't know the answer to a question, you don't answer it.
If you know the answer to a question, answer it.
I don't see how or why having a degree comes into play. We
are all equals because we're all capable of learning and understanding the concepts that are used in designing a robot. Whether or not we decide to seek out that knowledge is another topic entirely.
Again, if you're 12 and can explain gear ratios or you're 35 and spent $100,000 on an education and can explain gear ratios. . . what difference is it? The question still gets answered.
Don't hold peoples' hands, treat them like equals. They'll learn how to behave sooner or later, and that's a lot more effective than telling them they're not old enough, or smart enough, or qualified enough to help other people. When you give people a bit of respect, and you make them feel like they're needed and wanted and useful, they'll amaze you.
I promise.
