Re: GP? I think not.
It is always quite easy to infer that the team that just beat you is "mentor dominated".

Truth is, a mentor dominated team is usually a student abandoned team. Many times, the mentors are willing to teach but few students are willing to step up into leadership.

Also. Too often do I hear people that a team is "mentor dominated" without the slightest bit of evidence.

All I have to say is, if you find a great robot: sit down, enjoy the show and learn! Make sure you beat that team next year.

Who are you to decide how learning should take place? If you are into 100% student built robotics competitions, they exist (check out OCCRA).
