This doesn't necessarily follow. However, it does seem to imply that either you don’t have much faith in the ability of your fellow students (high school and college) on teams in this program or you believe that all teams’ actions are already dictated by adults and that there’s no such thing as a student run team. I believe that no matter what the rules are regarding parts of robots will say that the vast majority of teams will have the majority of their robot designed and built by students. This isn’t to say that I abhor professional input, design, or manufacturing. I actually love and am very thankful for what all these amazing engineering role models put into this program year in and year out.
