To continue with KatheK's line of questioning..... I am also curious on how many students lead their fundraising, set-up presentations at companies, follow-up on promises. Who makes sure the robot makes it to the presentation, cleans up afterwards and makes sure all materials are ready for the next presentation.
This is about more than building a robot, we cannot only do the fun things. If you are fully involved than you will be prepared to do anything in life.

I am fundraising co-captain. It is my responsibility to make initial contact with a company and set up an appointment. If the robot is needed, the people attending the presentation will load and unload it and set it up. I set up the binders with team information and pictures and such. Of course, I couldn't do this without the
help of the mentors/teachers. They drive us down and photocopy things and do all the things the students don't have access to. Seeing as I am in charge of fundraising, it's my responsibility to make sure everything runs smoothly and my responsibility to contact a company, set up an interview and try and raise money!
