Our team was recently watching a video of the build season video here: redacted
And as well as the majority of the videos that we have seen from their team as well as other teams.

Why do the mentors do everything for the students? Seriously, our team has three mentors and about 25 students. Our mentors stress students doing EVERYTHING. Our mentors have never written a line of code, CADed a design, come up with any major designs or connected any wires. They do pretty much what our captains choose to do.

I don't understand the logic behind groups of mentors trying to relive some high school fantasy of building robots. Every team that we saw last year in the pits that was doing fairly well had more mentors than students, and the students were never doing anything but driving the robot.

The whole system is completely ridiculous, mentors should be there to guide not to build. If you think you are some cool old guys because you own a bunch of high school kids, get a grip and go start your own robotics organization.
