My opinion matters to my team because I am part of that team.
My opinion matters to FIRST because I am part of FIRST.
My opinion is relevant because I was once a student, and now I am a mentor - So I know both sides of the city.

And your opinion is a fair one based on your experience. But is it also your opinion that all other teams should follow how you would run your team?
That has been my problem with DanTod/Depreciation's posts. I find teams where students do a majority of the work completely valid and one of the many possibilities of FIRST. As George Wallace has said, FIRST is like a pizza, and no matter what toppings you use, it's still a delicious pizza.
I have no problem with any FIRST member wanting students to have power on a team, I have a problem with those who think that the team's who do it differently are somehow wrong, unjust, unfair, ungracious, and/or missing the point of FIRST.
