Sorry homeslice, but teams can be 90% mentor run if they want to be. FIRST is about working with the engineers and if kids get inspired by that then thatz great. No one for sure knows if their (ELITE TEAMS) bots are mentor built and this idea has been discussed over various threads. Lets not start that here. We are fully student run, so yeah. But we still have help from our engineers. The point is that Mentor built or mostly mentor built bots are ok IF THEY INSPIRE STUDENTS TO WORK HARDER OR IF THEY LEARN MORE.
