Having all students or all enginneers work on the robot is not the way to go, at least to me. A partnership teaches so much. A student learns by doing, but he also can learn from the experiance of a real engineer. Why not take advantage of that source? All student built is great for building, but you miss out on the experiance. All engineer built means you miss the pride of seeing something you thought of work.
I would like to say that this year was possible the best learning experiance for me on becoming an engineer. I paired up with an enginneer, and worked to develop several ideas. I learned more than i could have on my own, yet I did do a lot of work. I got to develop a prototype, make it work, and then make the decision that it wasn't the right way to go. My engineer was right there helping me making the decisions, adding his experiance to mine. I would like to thank him and all the other engineers for putting all the time and effort you do into this FIRST project.
Thank you.
