If we didn't build it, who would?

Team 555 builds its robots, not the engineers, and not the machinists. We had a frame made from a machine shop, and a machinist helped assemble and build our gear box, but all actual assembling of our robot is done by the students, for better or worse, in our robotics "lab," a room in the basement full of broken furniture, tools, and a confused, displaced driver's ed teacher.

It really burns me up to see teams with teams of engineers who don't let the students even touch the robot, let alone carry it to the field or make repairs. There's no FIRST spirit in that.
