But are they missing the point, or just seeing a different approach to the competition? For five years, we built all our robots out of the school auto shop with just a teacher to guide us. I think the students learned more that way than we would have if we were less involved in the process. However, given our added assistance from GM this year, I can say I've seen it both ways. The learning happens in different ways, but the experience is just as valuable whether you have engineers or not.
