Nobody ever said otherwise. However, I would note that an all-engineer robot would still facilitate some interaction between students and engineers (the students have to know how to operate it), albeit perhaps at a less-than-desirable level. Technically, then, all-engineer robots aren't completely blocking off entire avenues for inspiration--they're just mostly blocking it off.

(That's me playing devil's advocate--I'm all for a blend.)
