Well I feel if they built it, they would most likely be able to fix it just as quickly with an equal amount of mentor help as before. I also feel these are the moments that are the most fun and where the thick of these great experiences are found. I also understand that there are many scenarios and good reason mentors may be the only ones working on the robot at a specific time, I was just using it as an example, perhaps not the best one.
