I agree - note the original statement - "Older students pass on many things to younger students but the teachers and mentors are direct links to the past."

But where did the first set of students learn - when they were rookies? And things passed down from student to student will distort and morph over time without some absolute reference (the mentors education & experience - inside and outside of robotics).
