Robb Gerber is an unknown quantity at this point
We've debated this issue around over the past six weeks.
Before the kickoff we did have a "high tech" metal fab sponsor/mentor but they kept us on hold. Two weeks into the build we find out that our only sponsor/mentor went bankrupt.
Without a machine shop we basically built our bot in 4 weeks using the mills and lathes at East York C.I. (Martin's School)
We did it all our selves. Had we still had our Metal Fab Mentor we wouldn't have learned nearly as much. As a Teacher I don't believe in kids watching the engineers do their thing. This is the lowest level of learning "awareness" (1 step up above ignorance).

We (like others) can take pride in the fact that we're driving our robot and not the ACME Bot.

now let me get some sleep
