After having been personally accused of designing and building our team's VEX robots, two things struck me:
1. Wow! We must have hit the big time (in VRC) - we've been accused of being mentor built!
2. I was quite flattered to realize that some people actually thought that I was that good. (The students who do the designing of our VEX robots are really talented - far more than I am!)
Karthik is absolutely right: WE NEED TO GET BEYOND THIS ISSUE. There are hundreds of ways to run a Competitive Robotics Team. Do what works for yours and keep trying to improve it. Don't worry about teams that do something different unless you wish to borrow some of their ideas. In that case, just go over and talk to them...
