There's not much that hasn't been said here already but I've noticed one prominent theme in this thread-an outpouring of support for 1114 specifically because people know that mentors don't build their robot, that it is a partnership of students and adults.

Who cares who builds the robot? If 1114 or any other team wanted to have their robot be built entirely by adults that would be no better or worse than a team that has theirs built entirely by students, or anywhere else in the spectrum. Who are we to judge how or why a team does what they do? If it inspires their kids then it should be good enough for anyone.
