How is this different from how some teams function normally? Almost all the perineal powerhouses (as well as some teams that don't always do so well) are driven by dedicated, seasoned engineers with experience in the sport. They do so well because the challenges are easier for professional engineers who have been in FRC for years than for inexperienced high school kids who graduate every four years.

Personally, I'd rather have those professional engineers share their experience with everyone than keep it to their own teams. But pick your poison, I guess.
