The robot was programmed by me. When I had a question about syntax, I would ask a parent who know PBasic.
The robot was designed by the team members - ideas were first drawn on paper/dry erase board, then voted on by the team, then drawn up in AutoDesk, and if necessary transferred over to FeatureCAM - for the CNC.
The robot was machined by 1 student, our team captain. He was in the shop 3 hours during school every day, and after school, he was there until 9 pm, every night.
The robot was constructed by students, 3-4 die hards - including myself. Every last screw was put in by a student.
The shop teacher was there to show us how to use the CNC. A prime example of how our robot was designed by students is when we had 1 student working on the sprocket for our tracks. He worked every day after school for a week, with the mentor by his side. But, the mentor did not tell him what to do, even though he had the answer. The student would finish a drawing, and the mentor would either nod his head in approval/disapproval.
I can safely say that our robot is 100% student blood, sweat, and tears.

For some people FRC is an introduction into STEM and just a way to open someones eyes to a world they might not know exist. To other it is a lifestyle that makes crossfit look casual. - IronicDeadBird [more]
