I would not comment in this thread, except our team was specifically mentioned and perhaps misrepresented...
Our team emphasizes a partnership between students and mentors in all aspects of our program. Students and mentors work together on brainstorming.
Students and mentors work together on design.
Our team benefits from a sheet-metal sponsor, who helps fabricate our "bent" parts.
Students do almost all of the manufacturing of our "machined" parts.
Students do almost all of the robot assembly.
Students and mentors work together on programming.
Students and mentors work together on iteration and debugging.
Students and mentors share responsibility at competition.
Our driveteam contains 3 students and 1 mentor coach.
I will say...
To imply that our students "may not do as much work" is funny to me, and would cause a lot of eye-rolls from the students on our team.
