Re: Mentors as Drive Coaches?

It seems like the only reliable way to get negative rep here, aside from blatantly breaking the rules, is to suggest that students should do more and mentors should do less.

Anyway, after watching some drive teams from the field reset position, I've changed my opinion slightly. If a team comes together, as a team, and decides that it would be best if one of the mentors on the team should be the drive coach, well, that's great. Really, I have no problem with that. But when the same mentor is the one that decides the strategy, and turns the robot on, and stands next to their driver in the question box, and works with the FTA, and basically looks like they'd drive if they were allowed to, well, I certainly don't think that's a good sign. When adults are trying to affect as much as possible the one job on the team the rules reserve for students, what does that say about the rest of the team?
