Our bot is mostly student built as well. The design is our own and so is the construction for the most part, although we had our welding done elsewhere. The girls who come down to the basement shop pretty much everyday until 6 (like me) take on projects of their own often times working with different bot components, and our mentors offer guidance with our projects and introduce us to the advanced work. Two of our mentors our engineers, two others are parents (although their kids arent on the team any more), and the third is a teacher.
