Whoa there; bold statement. First of all, this thread has barely even been on chiefdelphi, give it some more time.
I'm not even sure what your proposed solution is.... A report on what? It's entirely legal for mentors to design the robot.
And, like Cory said, why should they? The goal of FIRST is clearly defined, the means to that goal are not. Therefore, a team can do whatever they please within those means. Now, I doubt ANY team has an entirely mentor designed robot, and even if they did it doesn't mean the students didn't learn/be inspired.
This is kind of another version of mentor/student involvement, and complaining on chiefdelphi isn't going to change anything.
Really, no matter what you do, you can't change what other teams do. They aren't breaking any rules. You'll get much more enjoyment out of FIRST if you focus on what your team can do rather than if you focus on what you think is unfair.
