The Downside of Having More Engineers

I think the overall issue is a little more complicated than basic economics.

Any of you Engineers who want to become Industrial Designers, just let me know. I'll show you the real ways of designing.

But in seriousness, I never had the mind for the engineering part of FIRST, but FIRST did lead me to use my artistic mind to Industrail Design. I kinda wish that FIRST would put asthetics into a greater spotlight.
