Not true.

The engineers know a lot more about the physical limits of the materials and parts used on the robot than we do. For in stance:

If you try to drag a robot that got disabled in the middle of a match side ways, up the bridge, and it's obvious that your robot cannot do it, all the driver is concentrating on is getting the highest score possible by getting the robot in the endzone. Then it is the engineers job to step in and tell the driver to stop before you burn a drill motor, or break one f it's hooks off (trust me i saw this tried today in NJ, luckily it was a practice round)

As for coaches, they should know more about the strategy than the drivers. Drivers should concentrate on driving, that's what the are there for. It's hard to concentrate on manuvering a robot and thinking about strategy and scores ahead of time. The drivers should be trained to do what ever a coach tells them, and that in this game there is no time for argument.

As for your last statement. Yes this is a high school competition and engineers should keep some distance. But this is not a competition where the robots are all engineered and built by students, hence the name of FIRST, For INSPIRATION and RECOGNITION of Science and Technology. Your here to learn from the engineers.
