Many students also see to have little motivation to complete the tasks at hand. I am also a student and sometimes I find it hard to believe the amount of stalling that some students can do even when a simple task is at hand. Luckily we have had some hard working students available through the day.
We struggle particularly when we go into groups after discussing the goals that we would like to accomplish for the day.
Although we would love to take the robot to a mentors, the major problem at hand there is that our high school, Whittier Tech, consists of several different towns ranging from Lawrence to Salisbury, to Ipswitch and so on. There are 11 cities and towns total, which makes transportation a struggle. This is also why we meet here on Saturdays, here being the school. We are not allowed Sundays because the school is empty then.

Its tough during the start of a team because you need to establish the "corporate culture" that establishes the reputation of what is expected of students with regard to conduct during team meetings.
Feel free to shoot me a private message if you want to discuss it further.
