I wasn't trying to be malicious in way!! To me part of the problem is the competition aspect. Let me explain.....

I mentor to pass my knowledge of mechanics, fabrication and problem solving to those that really want to learn something. Nothing means more to me than when one of the students has that Ahh ha moment. You know when it clicks in their brain and they have an idea or an understanding of how to overcome the problem.

Now.... There are a few students and a couple mentors that are more concerned with "winning" the game rather than the importance of the students getting their heads outside the box so to speak.

I start every year off with this...

I personally don't care if we put the bot out on the field, and the moment auto starts all the magic smoke comes out of it, as long as at least one of you (the students) has an Ahh ha moment this year.
