It's always tough for us CD participants to evaluate these types of problems. Even long and detailed descriptions of the situation leave important information out, and show (mostly) the side of the aggrieved. From your brief description, OP, I see nothing inherently wrong or un-FIRST about your situation. Mentor involvement is part of the program, and each team decides how deeply the mentors should get in the decision process. You've also got a small team, it seems, so each person has more weight in the process. I hope you can work it out; I hope you can talk to the mentors and other students without it becoming a passive-aggressive drama, and that you will find the adults to be reasonable and wise.
