I've read the "mentor burnout" thread and <a href="http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?t=57245&page=5&highlight=student+bu rnout">this one</a> but they don't answer my question. What can students do to recover from burnout after either the build season or a competition?
If possible, you should forewarn your teachers before the start of the build season to try and get things like tests/homework prior to your competition.
