Ken, I 1000% agree with you!! The student built vs engineer built robot debate is old, and will likely never end. I like 50/50 myself, but to each team their own... but you have hit the nail on the head... when the students arent included, or the mentors take it WAY to seriously, and yell at their drivers or other teams drivers, or when awards drive a team, that is when they have gone too far... not whether or not they built 0% or 99% of the robot.
