Well
Becasue 151 has so many people on the team It is kinda hard to get concepts into peoples heads but our team splits in to three groups: red, white, and blue. Each team has a bunch of students and at least two engineers. The mentors are to simply keep us on track if we veer to far off subject or start getting in to stuff like how will we make this bracket. Then all the groups meet and try to sell there design to the other two teams. Some times we try to incorporate parts of other designs into the one we pick.We have a vote and what ever design we decide on, that is the design that that students and engineers start putting into PRO-E
From there if we run low on money students would take it apon them selves to take parts off our sponsors machine shop hands and go to our high school and finish them there, or in the case of our wheels, make all of them at school. Then the student Mech team will put the robot together. WHOA it seems I've gotten off the subject, the people who generate the drawings, figure out the tolerances and gear ratios, are students. the engineers just check to make sure that it is right.
