Re: How many teams are 100% student built
I haven't been all the way through the loop with 1618 yet, but I'd guesstimate that about 70 percent of the robot is done by the students. I had a large hand in the drive design, larger than I normally would recommend, but other factors made it beneficial for all concerned. Actual fabrication and assembly of items is largely students. The mentors may start tightening bolts if all the kids are busy, or file a slight sharp edge if we notice one and calling a student over is impractical, but we try and have them handle as much as they can.
