Re: Joining a team as a mentor?

Thanks Eric! Those are some of the answers I'm looking for. I'm specifically looking at teams who may be in need of a mentor with FRC experience in general. I'm looking for teams who can benefit from my (comparatively little) experience, as much as I can benefit from being with them.

I didn't know there may be a need for NEM-type mentors. I guess it's understandable. I'll certainly try to sell my experience on my team's promotion and marketing teams.

Thanks for the advice!
