Re: Percentage of Work Done by Students.

On a team where 100% of the design and 80 to 90% of the work is done by students, where still inspired. Our engineers look over and advise our designs they don't change or redesign. We ask questions and get answers from our engineers,we use the engineers and mentors as a guide. Although FIRST has some teams that have professionally engineered designs, the mission of a FIRST team should not to be to win but inspire no matter who builds your robot. OH by the way if you talk to the Pink kids which I encourage, they design most of that robot. Some finer points of design are done by there engineers which is true I think for most teams with engineers but the better part of it is designed by the kids. As far as the machining and fabrication part of it there mentors do that because of insurance and other reasons most of them can't get into NASA's machine shop to help or they would be. This is just what I know from talking to the PINK kids and I really don't like when people jump on 233 because there are other teams out there too that have the same sophistication of design as 233. Anyway I would just like to say inspiration comes from many sources and life isn't fair welcome to the real world kids.

My two and half cents,
Drew
