Once upon a time another team asked for help programming their autonomous mode and I responded. They told me to program it to move forward at full speed for a certain time. I did. During the match, the robot immediately popped a wheelie, held it for a substantial distance, and slammed down exactly where it was supposed to stop.

I’m the designer for my team, Team 6317, I have been the ONLY designer for three years, and I am in my junior year. I’m also the one with the most experience running the machinery, if something needs to be machined I put it on the CNC and grab the first person I see that isn’t busy, doesn’t matter who it is, tell them to put on a pair of safety glasses and to only smack the big red button if they sparks or if the tool is clearly broken.

My most gracious slander towards first was that the mentor(s) pretty much saw "ooh, science project that incompetent kids can't/won't build", and then proceeded to build the entire thing -_+ I know it's hard/tough for after-school programs to gain any noterieriety whatsoever, but the incel environment is not conducive to what teenagers generally look for in a "high-school experience." Also, no where is a robot like the ones built used in any general engineering professional-setting. I'd rather work on my homework

Clearly you don't understand the full extent of what this program is capable of and that's only on the engineering front. As a four-year vet on my current team I've learned (from mentors and elder students) more about mechanical engineering than many people will ever know. I've learned about tolerances, load paths, fasteners, machining methods, and so much more. Though the robots themselves are not applicable outside of FRC, the techniques used to create them very much are.
