Don't over exaggerate now. No one is calling 1626's Mentor a monster. All I'm saying is he conducted himself very poorly, and represented your team in a very negative light when one of your adult mentors, chose to in a very angry and hostile manner poke his finger at the field yelling at high school students, literally yelling, with anger in his voice saying you can't do that, scaring everyone, Including myself. Now, I'm an adult; and was in the stands not involved. I can only imagine how startled those kids were on the field, to have him screaming and pointing at them. GP in the heat of battle? Not quite...
Not really the way you want a mentor acting at a high school robotics competition while everyone is sitting quietly watching them pick their alliances. Your team was correct in trying to correct the error, but how he chose to do it will always be remembered and reflected on your entire team for years to come just so you guy have a chance at winning; winning is not what FIRST is about i think your team need to straighten out their priorities. Like Inspiredbybot said its my opinion am just very passionate..
