>Or, you know, sufficiently motivated amateurs.

Motivated amateurs can do wonderful, amazing things with hardware, and end up with broken hardware.
Professionals and do a bit different set of wonderful, amazing things outside of anything designers thought of, and end up with functioning (or at least repairable) hardware.

For example, instead of ramming feet of giant robot uselessly (stupid, but brave people) or making daring plan of using multi-storey parking garage as a ramp to ram the tank into open barrel (brave, motivated amateurs), they will ram ankles until it gives and giant robot will be rendered immobile (Let's ram while it's distracted and run away when it falls).
