I have been part of Team 876 since I was a freshman in high school, now that I am done with being a student in the program I decided to mentor. Since I go to a nearby college it was no problem for me to log a fair number of hours working after school.
I was really involved as a senior in highschool, participating on chairmans, driveteam, lead programmer, and other small things. I tried to cut back as much as I could as a mentor, I attempted to leave as much driveteam comments to the drivecoach, Lead programmer is taken over by a student (he did fine, I provided examples and such). The main issue seems to be with scouting.

When I noticed that nobody had started any scouting prep by the end of week 1, I started investigating tablet solutions, at the end of week 2 (and with older mentor's approval) we had some cheap android tablets. There was still very little interaction from the students (even tough I offered). The scouting app I picked was WildRank (we had had issues with bluetooth the year before, the USB sync looked promising). There are very few accomplished programmers on 876 (kind of an elite group), So I took it upon myself to modify and tweak the app to my liking, (at the end of the season paper scouting had only come up once or twice).
The first event we scouted was mostly a disaster, this was almost all on me. The second event went very well, the data was complete, informative, and provided for some great picks for our planned strategy.
However, our team has historically used paper, after our second event there was a lot of talk of switching to paper for worlds. There is so much data to collect and analyze for worlds (with hundreds or individual robot appearances in matches and data on each of those matches). I was informed by some other (more senior) mentors that I may be stepping on the students toes at this point. The way I have the electronic scouting system at this point it is more powerful than ever. I am working on migrating the electronic scouting system into a few, very capable, student's hands. Regardless, paper is the way Team 876 will go at worlds unless I can convince the team otherwise.

So my question: As a mentor am I overstepping my bounds with the development of the scouting system? Should I let my team set themselves up for potential failure with paper (and no good way to tabulate the data like is available with the electronic)? Any other advice for a 1st/2nd year mentor?
From my viewpoint I was just filling a hole in Team 876 this year. I am not asking for anyone to tell me if I was/am in the wrong or right, but rather what is the appropriate course of action when I may have been a little too involved.

Thanks for reading/replying.
