This is college level, it should be about the robot when it comes to victory. Although the other areas are important, engineers are primarily paid to make good products.

Personally, it'd be the difference for someone like me even considering competing or not; some people only like competitive competitions.

Though I agree that robots are important in a robot competition, I disagree slightly with the notion that engineers are only going to need to make good products.

In most cases that may be true, but as someone who has worked for two startups, I know how much effort goes into building a team of skilled people and organizing them to do more than build a great product. You can have the best idea and the best product in the world, but if you don't have a well run team and you don't know how to market your product, support your customers, etc you will not succeed.
