Re: How many teams are 100% student built
Our team is 100% student built. In fact I just spent the whole weekend in my garage building the chassis.

Our teacher mentors take care of the ordering, finances, etc. We do all the designing, building, machining, programming, wiring, etc. We operate out of three shops, one being our machine shop, the other being our assembly room (where we keep parts, etc), and the third being my own shop in my garage. The way we work is we do as much as we can in school, then any parts are brought home with me to work on over the weekend. It begins to get difficult later in the build season, when I'm transferring a whole robot between school and my house (which is about 30 minutes away)...but it needs to be done to get the bot done in time.
