Re: Mentors as Drive Coaches?

The whole goal of FIRST is to get students working side by side with mentors and engineers. The more you take engineers and mentors out of these areas on the team you are really hurting the growth of your students and the passing down of knowledge. This doesn't mean coaches and mentors need to be everywhere but you get the idea.

In short, it comes down to your team and what works for you. If this was really an issue, FIRST would make a rule about it.
