When a judge asks you this question, he or she really means "How does your robot do what it does?" Every team member should be able to answer that question in detail, or at least be able to refer the judge to someone who can answer it: "Well, I didn't work on the pneumatics myself, but Andy over here can tell you ..."

A couple years ago I was judging in OCCRA, a fall competition in Oakland County. I asked one team member to tell me about her robot. "Well, it drives and, um, " And that was about it. I didn't get back to see them again, and consequently they didn't get recommended by me for an award.
