This has been discussed so many times. Please use the search function! Also, guessing by the name, no team number, and 1 post that you are an anonymous account. Those are not allowed.

Anyway, I am sure there are many robots, built by students AND mentors, maintain by students AND mentors, and driven by students that win competitions. It is so much more than "oh my god their mentors do everything".

Experience, teamwork, and determination all play a bigger role than "mentor bots", in my opinion.

Also, I realize you have not once in your post stated that your opinions are "GP", but I would hope that you keep to your own high standards, even when posting anonymously...
