So why shouldn't someone recognize the few that you believe are able to handle that much? Have you ever been in that position yourself? Some college teams don't have those engineers or adult mentors you're speaking of. So why shouldn't those collegiates be just as eligible?

'Too many' doesn't always mean all. Everyone has a different experience within FIRST. A lot of times, people get mixed up because college and FIRST both take up a lot of time and effort, but wouldn't that make the feat of keeping it all together all the more extraordinary?
