I'm not exactly sure what you meant by this, but how I interpreted it was that you were asking if we, the students, made it. The answer to that is yes, absolutely. Students completely designed and developed our website and also wrote the majority of the content. Mentors do contribute to the content though (specifically history, alumni, team meetings, calendar .. ect).

And, the 2009 one is mainly for FIRST, although we do mention VEX a couple of times.

It makes more sense to our team if we have all the content about our team and it's activities in one place rather than having it in multiple areas (subdomains).

In any case, I really like your site as well  (I like ours too, but I'm probably biased).

While this is helpful, it doesn't win you any points. We have two students doing our website (design/development process) which is constructed using many different languages.
Once again congrats to you guys for winning the award!
