What's wrong with an organization that is composed of the "elite"?
Ackkk that was never the original intent of the program. It's intention was to get the people who would have never really had a chance to participate and get interested in science and technology.

And making the game simpler dumbs down the program. It's not a god-send, it's a curse.
Not really. Even the simplest souding of challenges can be quite complex to complete. Take robot sumo and trinity firefighting. They both have very very very easy to understand tasks. One is to push the opponents robot out of the ring and the other is to navigate a room and estinguish a candle. Both remaining quite simple for people to understand yet the robots usually become quite complex.

Junkyard Wars is an excellent example of a very educational show while remaining entertaining. Of course it sometimes goes astray but it usually includes something educational.
