Wouldn't this exact statement be a reason for a college level FIRST competition?
It has been debated for years now about college students roles as mentors, particularly ones in their first couple of years removed from high school. If these students can focus on their own competition wouldn't it help both sides? The college students can continue to develop skills and learn (what college is technically supposed to be for) while the high school students are not subject to "bad mentoring".
Considering we don't know much besides the word quadcopters I would suggest we stop speculating as to what the actual challenge is. Lets try to be constructive and offer our thoughts and experiences as college students who may be interested in something like this.
