Re: Lazy Mentor Training System

I found his really cool, and I'm happy to see you focus on the student's growth.

I would mention, that when I was a student, one of my favorite parts of FIRST (even more than building the robots) was teaching. I loved showing the new people how to use tools and telling them about the different types of drive systems and mechanisms.

I would suggest that you make sure your students get some experience with that as well. Of course, that requires veteran members who show an interest in teaching so it's not right for everyone, but I see it as one of the most important parts of FIRST.

Maybe after a year or so of the LazyMentor program you will have enough veteran members with enough knowledge to teach some of the other classes. I would hope they would also get a chance to share their knowledge.
