I have to disagree here. I agree that asking the principal is a good idea, and you should try to negotiate before giving up on him as a mentor completely.
But please, PLEASE, do not give up on the competition and your robot just because of this obstacle! All a strike will do is cause him to say "Your loss", and give up on the whole thing! You can still build a robot, even if it's in a mentor's garage and even if you have to beg, borrow, or steal (well, maybe not steal) parts and mentors from other teams or area businesses. You can do it, with or without your mentor. It's his choice whether he wants to help you build your robot, but you can do it regardless.
Best of luck!
