Re: TEAM FALLING APART! HELP!

Truth be told, our team experienced a situations which was similar, but not as severe. Our captain got suspended because he tried to speak out against it. This might not be the absolute best thing for you to do, but try to explain in the most level-headed way that this is impeding forward progress. I agree with Kim that you should listen to your mentor's logic, first.
Our situation actually only died down after we followed our mentor's instructions, and he realized that the teams that were doing better were doing what we had wanted to do. One of the best ways to convince an engineer of something is to tell them it's already been done successfully another way.
I hope the situation is resolved soon. Good luck to you.
