@team buzz person:
You do not need to invite me to see how your team operates, I have already witnessed it in the pits last year at the competition. I will leave it at that.

Responding to the majority of the comments here, as well as some other ones. I am sorry my post offended you, I did not mean it to be a troll post or any such thing. I was merely stating an observation and frustration.

In my opinion, mentors should be allowed to do, but I feel like these teams don't even appear to give the students a chance to work on it.

This is my problem with the current mentor situation, and I stand by what I said yesterday, and I still mean every word of it. Good luck trying to send the internet police after me again, I am very afraid.



@cory:

Two things:
1. Get at me
2. Heres a quote from you:
"I'll abide by that myself. If some think my posts are inappropriate and rude, that's fine. They were my words and I won't hide from them."

Excluding what has been underlined, this is exactly what you should have done in the first place. State that you didn't mean to offend anybody and it is just your opinion. Had you done this, there would have been some serious discussion about mentor's involvement. Instead, you let the community stew in anger at your remarks. They weren't angry that you said you feel that some teams have mentors do too much, they were angry that you called out a team based on what seemed to be a 30 some second video.
