Thank you all for the help, the students will see what they can do to resolve conflicts around the team!
Actually, I think reaching out to the community for help is what FIRST is all about. Gracious professionalism. In my opinion, mentors need to mentor. Kids are kids and need guidance. If I was a mentor for this team, I'd reach out to some of the senior mentors on CD for advice. I've personally done that in the past and it's really helped. Chris from Cyber Blue is awesome. I guarantee you that mentors that have been doing this for 10 to 20 years have had to deal with identical problems. To just leave it to the kids to solve eliminates one of the fundamental aspects of FIRST: mentoring
