Students can't always do the work here

As a final note from me on this subject since I seem to look bad ,because I say that the engineers on my team did most if not all of the machining though the students have assembled it all. There are more reasons than just: The engineers took over the project and didn't let the students touch anything because we didn't want them to learn. One of the biggest reasons that students can't do much of the machining work is simply because of the rules of the GM shop that we work in, I am making no joke about the liability that larger companies take on by having 30-50 people, mostly students, unfamiliar with the facility and machining in general. People get hurt all of the time in a company this big and I have voice mails of peoples fingers and arms being seriously injured by machine tools. All of the teams that do the work at the schools have a much different situation than at a large company. (we are even more of a special case because many things also need to be done by the UAW trades on site because of more rules) Pretty much the most students can use in our facility are hand tools and a drill press, and even the drill press have a history of injuries when fixtured parts come loose or people with loose clothes and jewlery get into it. Just 1 serious accident will be all that is required to shut this program down here. So in this case it isn't right to rip on people because they build a different robot than your because certainly every team in this wonderful event has a different situation than yours, and different resources available than yours.
