I think you are wrong about the engineer-vs-student built robot question. I will agree, It's cool to watch a phenomenal robot that can do everything, but I think some of those teams are missing out on (in my opinion) the best thing in FIRST: building your robot. My team build our own robot, every year, with no engineers. It helps us all to get a personal connection to the robot that we wouldn't have otherwise. It is no longer the team's robot, or our sponsor's robot, but OUR robot. There's nothing better than watching something that you personally helped to create. There will always be teams that have robots built for them, and I respect that, but I, for one, believe the best robot is one built by the students of the team.
