Our mech students don't program, and our CAD students don't usually build. Et cetera. I'm willing to bet that this is pretty common among teams with more than 10 kids on them.

I cannot speak for when the judges come around as we all know that is random and always seems to happen at the worst possible times. I can only speak for myself regarding my event as an inspector. Wouldn't you expect the student team members that accompany the robot to inspection to be ones that would be able to explain when asked about something on the robot? Based on your reply, maybe I'm expecting too much organization from most teams although it sounds like organization is a baseline for yours.
