Hey Skye, long time no see. We have a similar problem with our scouting. Our "lead" of scouting wants us to switch to paper or our old version of WildRank because we had a few issues with our new version at Central Illinois. We convinced them to let us keep using the new version by explaining how much harder and redundant it would be to remake what we have already done instead of making a few simple changes.

As for the mentor situation I believe it is helpful to have recently graduated students come back to help the team, so that the team can transition easier, but it is important that the help is limited so that when and if you are fully gone they can function without you. So no I do not believe you are over stepping your bounds by helping with the app. Scouting is not as essential as building a robot, so if you leave and they do not know how to update the app they can always fallback on paper. So they will not be screwed over. However if it was the same case with the robot software, if you were to leave the team they would have some problems.

So yes younger mentors have their place on a team but they need to make sure they are passing on their knowledge not just doing the work especially if it is directly involved with the robot.
