Re: Mentors as Drive Coaches?
For our team, there really wasn't much choice this year.
Last year, we had a student drive coach. He didn't really do much — he didn't direct the drivers, but instead just stood there watching the whole time. But he's excellent at machining, so we placed him as the 24/7 pit manager and machinist this year. Thing is, though, our team is small enough that we really don't have any students to spare. We have the two drivers, the machinist, the PR manager, the mascot, the videographer, the general manager (me), the safety captain (this job kinda fluctuates from various members, depending on who plans on being in the pits mostly), and a couple of scouts. That's it. And this year, none of the students wanted to be the drive coach. So basically, our only qualified candidate for drive coach was our mechanical mentor, who used to be a coach for his son's soccer team. Normally we would let the other students decide.
