I used to have the same view as you when I was a student. I LOVED to mention that our robot was all student built. I understand the great feeling of accomplishment you have, but as i mature and start seeing the FIRST program through the eyes of a mentor, I find that leaving it all to the students can create a gap between the student-mentor partnership that is so vital to a well rounded team. And I say that it can, not that it will create that gap. There just has to be a balance,
