FAHA: Too much help from mentors?

[Ken Leung]

This topic have been debated every year. It gets old for the veteran FIRST participants, but I believe it is helpful for rookie members to see what they have to say about this topic. I consider this topic one of the most important things to learn about when growing in FIRST. So, how about it folks, lets give this concerned rookie FIRST participant some good answers.

If you have some links for previous discussions, that will be great too.

I myself am from a rookie team and am new to the FIRST exprerience, but can mentors help too much. In a team close to mine I have seen a robot that many people from many surrounding teams suspect is "mentor fabricated" and bolted together and wired by students. is this going too far, allowing experienced engineers to build the robot for them.

Just a question.
