This can sometimes be a problem with new mentors. Our team has a team handbook with team rules for students and mentors to avoid situations like this. It is mandatory for all students to read and understand the game rules. Mentors and volunteers cannot participate in any design/strategy discussions unless they've read the game rules.

It's important to understand that mentors are always trying to do their best to help. Sometimes they are too busy to read the rules or don't understand the importance. I highly recommend that you speak to your team coach and request that he/she speak to the mentors. He/she can provide the mentor(s) with a computer with the game manual loaded, point them to the important sections, and ask them to spend the build session reading. I'm sure that a simple conversation and explanation will resolve this. Good luck!
