Re: How many teams are 100% student built
Our team's motto:

"Student Run, Student Built"

That being said our robot is not 100% student built and we are proud of it. We have two machinist sponsors who do all the sophisticated manufacturing.

We require that students be on hand at the machine shop whenever something is made. The sponsors give us advice and run the machines, but we make the decisions.

The same is true for the design process. The mentors can advice us, and tell us what they think. Their opinions are highly valued because we respect them, NOT because they are adults. In the end it is the students that make all the decisions and do most of the manufacturing.

I think its great that some teams are 100% student built; but I would also hope that 100% of their students are mentor advised.
