On topic: as long as some kid benefits, even a little, it's an exercise somewhat worth doing but will it make anyone sustainable?
It is a huge red flag to me when robots show up needing major CSA help to be nearly operational.
That means something went very wrong somewhere, but I have no place to alert anyone to give them help next season as CSA.
I might get a team on the field for that game but that's addressing the symptom.

Nah, the mentor built/student built comment was just so I didn't come across as biased. I agree there's a fairly large goldilocks zone of mentor involvement, It was more a rhetorical question.
I also feel that coming to an event with a non functional (non driving) robot is a symptom of exactly the problem I'm pointing out. We have a bunch of teams, rookie or otherwise, that for some reason or another are failing at the core challenge of FRC.
In healthcare there's a growing focus on quality of life rather than quantity. I don't want to see us focus on quantity of teams and neglect if teams are achieving FIRST's goals.
