Where do you actually build your robot and who does the building???

[Elgin Clock]

So the two eternal questions await you:
Where do you build the robot???
AND
Does your team's students actually build the robot?

We build our robot at the high school metals shop and YES the students on our team actually build it. (with a little help from the engineers and machinists of course!)

The reason I ask these two simple questions is I want to know where people build thier robots(obviously) AND I want to see how many teams actually have the students build the robot or just have thier robot built by engineers and then have a litteral "crash course on driving" when the robot is finished???

You can definately tell the teams who had the engineers totally build it and give it to the students, just by talking with some of the students . I think this approach is wrong! The robot should be almost totally student built!(with a little help from the engineers and machinists of course!)
