Adding the whole money issue for us and having families (I'm a daddy and husband), makes it even more so.
There are pressures to not tone it down, let some things go, and outright doing less.
Donors give more when you do more, which indirectly affects your success as we all focus on robot building and student learning experiences.

The number of people who mentor our team has exploded over the last 4 years. I directly attribute our team competitiveness to gaining some incredibly talented mentors in just about every field, from business to spirit.
Even with that many mentors, none of us have time to get everything done. My 3 kids now ask me if I'm going to work, or to robotics. They both consume equal amounts of time right now.
