What if there are 5 mentors and 2 students by the bag&tag:
Still don't want the mentors to work on that robot?

As a CSA I've helped a few teams build a KOPbot at a competition (there are some rare cases you can get away with this).
They literally came with the crates still packed.
Is it mentor built or CSA built ?

What if your team had a lot of mentor built stuff to give it legs then switched to more student built?
What if your team has more mentor hands on in one part and less in another?
