James Juncker will become famous soon enough
In the past our team has had some similar issues, what we have done is strategized over what we found important to the game, and determined what we would be building to complete those tasks. Some years we have had mentors too attached to ideas. We try to go for as many points as we can but sometimes people get attached to cool looking ideas. At some point people need to realize that as a team we will wait her work to get an awesome robot, or fail when trying. We all know that we did the work and can be proud of it. When mentors get too involved we take them back to our original plan and see how what they got sidetracked by relates to the initial plan. If the idea doesn't relate we tell them to hold onto it and we might pursue it later on in the season. If it's an idea a that would help the team we wait a bit to see if it is viable, then present it to the entire team at our mandatory weekly meeting and discuss it for a while.
