I do care who builds the robot. I think the students should build it, and I see the engineers as guides, to help us, but we shouldn't exploit their knowledge because then we won't learn anything.

But you are right that the competition is about learning, making friendships, and gaining skills we would not have otherwise.

By the way, who started the rumor that Chief Delphi's robots were built by the engineers (which it probably is)? That rumor goes against everything FIRST is about, since FIRST is not about winning, its about learning. I think Chief Delphi does a great job of building robots, but that doesn't give anyone the right to say that engineers build the robots for the students.
