That being said, I think that like mentioned before, the programmers should have more responsibility. I don't mean that they don't have enough work to do, but I'm just saying that they can only program so much without a robot, so they might as well aid in the building process so they can finish the robot quicker and in turn be able to work on their code more.
Sorry for the double post but I just saw this and had to quote reply it.

You can only fit so many hands on an area 18x18x18 before there's no more room for hands, or they touch something that cuts them (ie sharp sheet metal underneath that we hadn't gotten around to filing yet).
