On our 'bot, everyone who is really interested works. Except for those working on the Inventor stuff and the website, the entire team is the mechanical team. For example, I'm the one with the most experience in Inventor, but I spend 85 minutes every day on the mechanical stuff. I can't really work on the modeling, because I'm out of the loop (the CADDlab and school as a whole are on separate networks, and I haven't remembered my Novell password in the past 13.5 months). However, despite my lack of official duties, I don't think it will be a problem getting one of the coveted spots on the team at Regionals (We can only take ~8-10 students).
As for engineers/professionals/parents/adults of any sort other than Mr. Johnson, we have absolutely none. Even the Engineering Technologies teacher is not involved. (why we haven't asked him is another thing entirely. We're just happy he's letting us use the drill press) I can say with complete confidence that our robot is 100% student-done. That is, IF you consider our lone (freshman) alumnus (who really doesn't know more than us yet) a student.
