That's not to say that having a blind student is a problem, but that people thinking your team has such a student when you do not is. It's simply not comforting to know that people are willing to use your team as a "throwaway" in order to keep themselves anonymous. That said, I do think we should try and help mentor_4281 and suggest good ways to assist with visually challenged students!
It was clearly a troll because he ended the message by saying "I'm trying to build the robot for these students, but they just need to stay away from the tools", clearly a "mentor built robot dig" when combined with the 254 team number.

I'm certainly sensitive to the challenges of having a blind student, it just seemed like that post was about taking shots at us, not about a blind student.
