I didn't think you were. I was having a little fun about some of the traditional engineers on our team watching all the other mentors and students, and a few traditional engineers when they were there who did jump in, run around like chickens with their heads cut off cuz of a deadline, while they continue to ponder designs.

I only wanted to point out that 'building' the robot itself is not actually engineering.

And I was a little tickled to realize that my time in the machine shop makes me a TECHNICIAN!

But the whole point is, if you think you can build a robot without any help from the engineers, you are really missing the boat. Your not even on the right pier :c)

The object of the team is not to design, build and compete a robot, it is to design, build and compete students. If after four years we have opened a student's eyes to the infinite possibilities they have in their life, it is worth all the effort. - adunakin [more]
