Yeah - that's kinda sad. It's hard for alot of the mentors not to want to do everything because it looks so fun. But I try to stay hands off as much as possible during the build season.

Encourage your engineers to work on their OWN robots during the off season. That will get some of it out of their system. (Durning the 2002-2003 off-season, I managed to build several BEAM bots, a 6-legged bot, and I am in the middle of a human-tracking bot.) My goal - engineers in the pits only for safety. I don't care if we win - now I just have to convince the others.
