You can feel free to disagree.
However the issue I have is this: a lack of evidence.
An anonymous person posting on a public forum with serious accusations.
How level headed is it - that something must be done?
If these accusations are hasty how would you undo the harm that this accusation creates?
Also clearly if the issue was not feeling appreciated then why does it matter - at all - if a group of people hijack the robot after someone leaves and make changes without discussing it?
In almost 2 decades I've been out sick and changes were made to parts I was working on that I wasn't always comfortable with but sometimes that's just how it is.
To quote the original post:
Quote:
- mentors physically working on the robot with favored students after meetings and making decisions without consulting the rest of the team.
- mentors purposely delaying student requests to order certain robot components because they personally disagree with design ideas
-students are repeatedly told to respect mentors when vice versa is rarely applicable.
- genuine, respectful feedback from involved veteran members is taken as disrespectful by mentors with no logical explanation other than disagreement.

Oh and let me clarify: I have seen students make serious accusations against people that were quite clearly innocent out of misplaced feelings. Much more serious accusations than this. It's not pretty.
