Not to hi-jack this thread, but our mentors do a good amount of work on the robot, and we are nowhere near a "good team", by any stretch of the imagination. But the students still do most of the work, and just about 90% of the design/prototyping. They've learned how to work on a team, how to use power tools, etc.

It can be frustrating to watch a robot that "seems" like it completely built by mentors totally dominate your "dinky" student-built bot, but it makes the next build season that much more interesting. The important thing in FIRST, is what the students come out with, not the by-products of that goal.

And I would love to work at that company also, Elgin!
