Yes - but only if they want to. In fact, they can learn way more from master craftsmen than they ever could from trial and error.

But this has been debated to death. FIRST is not another Soap Box Derby, never was, never will be. It is meant to have anywhere from 100% to ZERO% student participation in the build - most teams strike a happy medium - few, if any, can be found at either extreme.

Back on topic: I want to know who gets to decide when FIRST is "fair." Because I don't think it's fair unless we all agree.
