Is First about Students the robot or the Professional who desingn the robot, cause i loook at a lot of these robots that pictures of the one that has being uploaed and many of them seem to be desinged by a profesional and little is done by the students. OR my bee i am worng and more school just have better equipment and knowledge of whast to do? When THEY SAY IT WASNT MEAN TO BE FAiR,
