Per this post:

Confirmed here:

2000 hours for 5 mentors and 5 students is basically 2 6 week build seasons if you work around the clock.

Still a highly impressive effort and result.

Here is the evolution of their swerve steering over several years:

Even if it is 2000 man hours which could be 200 hours each for 10 people - they built variations for years so by the time they built 4 wheel independent steer they already had design, build and drive experience.
