Adults/mentors can use the machines with no problem as far as I can tell. All of our mentors are trained in their use so it doesn't really matter.
It also helps that the shop instructor is quite interested in our projects.

The only problem with our team though is that I am the only kid that has taken any shop classes at our school. Also, I am the Shop teachers TA for wood shop and he has told us that if we need to have a student get trained on an extra machine, he can show me how to use it and then someone besides a mentor can make parts for our robot. I think it is funny though that Kris and I have used way more tools than our school will allow us to use.
