Well, this thread got derailed quickly.

I think it's sad that a team like RUSH (my own team, while I was in high school) needs mentors. RUSH is an exceptional team with an exceptional group of students year after year, and I think anyone interested should at least give it a shot. RUSH has a very interesting outlook on FIRST and I think it benefits the students a lot.

I know my senior year a lot of the team was student-lead because of a lack of full time mentors. Yes, college students come back to help (I tried to as well) but it isn't always easy to find time between academic and family priorities.

Best of luck to RUSH. I'll be watching, even if I can't come and help.
