I barely have time to check out what is going on and what other teams have done. There needs to be a better outlet for mentors to get trained without having to burn more PTO. Because it takes a special understanding and knowledge to design and build one of these robots and not knowing the technology or resources leaves teams in the dust.
I agree. Being a team coach who is a true NEMo and has never been to championships it has been difficult to navigate my way through many things.
