Our robot is 100% student designed. It is troubleshooted a bit by mentors, but this year our robot came out of the students minds. The mechanisms, the Autocad (i did that with another student) and the way it all fits was done completely by students.

Building is 95% done by students. The teachers and mentors are mainly there for advise and administrative reasons. They order the materials, help us with our problems with building and such.

We only have one engineer helping our team, but he cant really help us as much as we would like.

We are not only building our robot with our time though... On saturdays, we have two other rookie teams come to our school to work on their robots in our machine shops as they lack there own. On the 15th, we are going to have half a field built, and we are going to host a trial run with a few robots from the NYC area.

I think our team is really the epitome of the FIRST Spirit!

wow that is so cool. Helping two other teams, and still managing to build your own bot! My hat is off to you and your team.
