Can a mod just delete this thread? It has gone completely off track of the original intent.

I've been out of the FRC game for awhile. I didn't even know this website existed until a week ago through an old friend.

Anyways. Mentor involvement is crucial for learning in general. Very few student are capable of teaching themselves everything. That being said, it irks me that a mentor of 254 made this post, and not a student. Take a look at other code releases. Having looked through the threads, I found another code release that was posted by a student whose first year in FRC was last year, and that code could honestly have a paper written about it and publish it in a peer review journal. It's not anything to look into, it just gets under my skin coming from a team that had 2 mentors, both of which were teachers and not engineers, and less than 10 students.

The only way to explicitely prove if a team has there mentors do everything would be to do a build season without mentors, and each team given the same budget. But that is never going to happen, mostly for liability reasons I'd assume.

That being said, CheesyVision was an innovative, but extremely elementary, solution to a problem. Anyone with a basic understanding of computer vision could sit down and write it.
