Team 118 is amazing. I talked to some of their members in Atlanta last weekend and they are truly the engineers behind their robot. Great job team 118. (BTW John, team 687 The Nerd Herd)
guys this is first so play nice and 118 it is not mentor built you can and very complex things with the insight of your mentors with time any team will be making super complex bots once you no how to run a cnc and have a nice shop anything is possible look at there pits that a really test i have i talk to a kid for about a hour about crab drive he kewn it all be nice
Who is to say that the students didn't participate in another robotics competition before joining the team? And you've got to make some sense here, what would NASA gain from making the bot for the students? Why bother with all the trouble of getting the kids (who would no doubt prefer to be playing videogames or whatever kids do these days) through security if all they were going to do is do the work for the kids?
Team 118 is the epitome of gracious professionalism. There are other teams where the engineers build, and the kids sit around and play hacky sack. Not 118. Those kids know what they are doing. Their program starts in elementary, so their Seniors have a decade of experience. That makes a big difference. Their facilities are great, and their sponsors generous, but they have EARNED that.
Agree. We're working in a small classroom, and trust me, there are no other opportunities available. None of the biggies would fund us due to our geography. We have a single engineer who works with us, and he pretty rarely even comes in. He's certainly never assisted with a layout. Personally, I think of the advantages they have over us, and I'm saddened that the results are only this much better.
wow give the mentor a hand for me

sad but true
not to name any teams out there but there are numerous teams who get their robot built by engineers and alumni.

Great job 118! Can't wait to see it in person at the Bayou Regionals and at the Lonestar Regional. From Ryan (R2D2) at Team Fusion 364.
