My team has been blessed with many fantastic mentors, many of whom have left the teams for other pursuits (one as the FIRSTWA Senior mentor and the mentor of a rookie all-girls team, another as the Volunteer coordinator of FIRSTWA, and another retired and is moving). The Woodie Flowers Award Winner for the PNW District is a founding mentor of the team and one of the adults who has really shown me the kind of person I want to be. These mentors, and many others, created and maintain with the help of students a culture within the team of excellence, both in the robot in the way that we act towards people. And with this has always come an expectation that it is the students that do the work; the mentors are happier when they dont have to do as much work (definitely not just laziness
), and we do what we want instead.
IDK if that's anything to do with what I've picked up but I wanted to opportunity to talk good about my mentors cuz they've been so awesome.
I picked up from the our scouting mentor a need to know exactly what every robot does in the event we are attending. there. I'm on topic now
