Re: Mentoring Question

Short answer: yep. Never turn down help.

Long answer: many of our technical mentors don't really have any background in the area that they're in charge of. Some don't even STEM experience whatsoever. They're still able to do their job, but they do have to learn the ropes. If it's a rookie team or a team with no significant knowledge base, they may have a harder time teaching the mentor, but the best way to learn how to build an FRC robot is to go through a build season with a team, observing and learning. Many engineers and people in the field have to do a little bit of this anyway when they first start mentoring because FRC is different from industry in a lot of ways.
