There is a complete spectrum here. The most important letter in FIRST is "I" for inspiration. Some teams achieve this by having mentors and engineers do most of the designing and building while students learn on the side. Others have an "only high school students touch the robot" approach. FIRST does not say one is better than the other – nor should they.

Our team consists of about 50 students, 2 HS teachers, 7 college students and one college professor/engineer. (We have an occasional parent in to help on weekends.) Everyone does "administration" type jobs, everyone designs and fabricates. The non-high school people tend to keep as much of a hands off attitude as we can.

We do nearly all of the fabrication at our school's metal shop, but some work is done at the college.
