Re: Sometimes I feel like this is me as a coach.

This year had its moments that felt like that comic. We have a strong senior class who stepped up after last year and asked if they could take more control over the team for this year. I think we have been largely successful as mentors at stepping back and only stepping in if we "needed" to.

Is the robot "done", no.

Is the student leadership stressing out over this, most certainly.

Are the mentors stressing out over this, yes, the students have worked hard and we want them to succeed but not at the cost of pushing them out of the way.
