At what point does it become unacceptable for a mentor to design/build the robot
I understand FIRST is for inspiration, but if mentors are building and or designing the robot isn't it pointless for us to waste our time there? When the ideas for the robot are basically mentor ideas, and student ideas are either shot down or refined enough so that they're just the mentors ideas.
If FIRST is about inspiration, then maybe mentors should just build their own robot and face off against each other and just let us watch. I'm sure that's inspiring enough to get into a STEM field.
I'm in no way accusing my team of doing this, I'm just wondering. Where is the line drawn between student/mentor involvement.

In my opinion, the right mix of student, mentor, and engineer involvement is when everyone gives it 100%. - Jack Jones [more]
