You say "Why blame the programmers?"

I say, why is any blame allowed on your team? Aren't you all working in the same direction, for the same goal, and doing your best? If so, then it's up to both the students and the mentors to very quickly correct the problem and explain to anyone who wants to perpetuate 'blaming' someone else that you are ONE team. Not a bunch of sub teams.

I had an emotional event with one of our students earlier this year when he said "xxxxx broke. As always." Now that he's gotten a little more involved with the TEAM I'd be shocked if I ever heard it again.

Remember. There is no controls team, no mechanical team, and no business team without The Team.
