Anyone can make a something strong, but it takes and engineer to make something strong and light. and isn't that what we are supposed to be? Future Engineers!

I strongly disagree with both of these statements, just because you put bumpers on your robot doesn't mean you can't build an effective robot and in real world engineering you design to the customers specs not you own.
FIRST has given us specs and we design to them that's what real engineers do.

How is the time spent on helping students design their robot with bumpers in mind waste time? I think it is valuable experience.
