The problem is that the students DO build their own robot. They don't just sit there while their mentors do all the work. They collab with them and then designs are made up. Students do all the dirty work with mentors giving them the tools and help if they need it.
Just because the team has leverage to waterjets, cnc machines, lathes, and mills doesn't mean the robot isn't student built.

"While I was a student in FIRST, it was all about becoming inspired. Now as a mentor/engineering student, it's all about making sure learn everything I can so I can carry that on inspiration for future generations while having a hell of a lot of fun!"
