There are certainly other competitions out there where the emphasis is student-centric with the adult mentors stepping back while at the competitions. That isn't FIRST.

Jane, I understand what you are saying but need to specify
FRC, not
FIRST.
In FLL, for example, the adult mentors do step back at the competition and having the students do the work is right up front in the FLL creed.
Each of the 4 programs in
FIRST have different rules about mentor/student involvement.
