I am going to ask some potentially really stupid questions here, but I think they need to be asked.

1. Do you think there are any teams where mentors do 100% of the work for the entire build and competition and students just drive it?
2. If so, is this observation based on seeing this team at competition or have you talked to their students or gone to their build sites?

If you got through #1 and #2 and you have a team that you have talked to or observed during build and competition that is 100% mentor built then maybe you need to speak privately with that team as they are far from the norm in FIRST.
