It just turns out that my mentor and I have different mentalities. He would rather have a terribly performing robot that works and that would allow the kids to learn more. I would rather push the kids a little bit too far that they don't quite get it and then learn from that experience.

Because from the sounds of it, his mentality sounded like "Since I know you kids can only walk a few steps, I am going to make you crawl your way through". I think it is appropriate to push the kids beyond their limits and force them to succeed. Just different schools of thought.

Being part of a team probably is my flaw. I don't even know half the kids on the team because most of them are rookies. I am the type that keeps to himself until needed.
