As a member of the drive team.. our mentor decided to be passive and let us make the calls, and then give his opinion.

All strategy was done by either myself, the driver, or the HP with the students of our alliances. I do think the presence of an adult mentor does help us to be taken seriously by other teams and their mentors. Maybe they think what we are saying is what the mentor wants us to say, or maybe they have faith in us students. Whatever it is, I liked having an adult mentor able to keep composure and know what to watch for while we watch the bot
