I agree. At the very least they will release a statement clarifying their position since the Mythbusters showed this story to at least 360,000 twitter accounts, and they are sort of figureheads of the STEM movement. It also helps that it made it to the top of digg, reddit, fark, etc. No one (especially the internet!) likes to see student's hard work get trampled by bureaucracy.
In my book the team building experience of the kids training the engineers in the operations on the field would be invaluable. It might not get a trophy but you win far more in the long run.
