While our team prides itself with having a completely student built robot, especially since we were able to be in the winning alliance this year in St. Louis. I don't think that our team would refuse help from anyone, it is just that there is not many engineers around our area, and we have never taken an active role in finding adult leaders besides teachers and parents. As the former team captain I think that while every team is different they all need to be able to teach/inspire the students if this means having the older kids teaching programming, farmers teaching how to run roller chain, or an engineer teaching a student about CAD. It does not matter where the knowledge is coming from as long as everyone is having a good time and learning something.
