1727 has a policy of "adults hands off the robot." Except for chassis welding or custom machined blocks, mentors and alumni never touch the robot. This is not to say that we do not have mentor involvement, we work hand in hand with our mentors, and they have opened a lot of doors for us with design options we wouldn't have even thought of. But our students have the final say in all design aspects and building of the robot.
