Very true. What if a WFA winner TP'd a house when they were young and were picked up for it? Does that 'criminal' record make them a bad mentor? No.
From what I can tell, if FIRST just adds a bylaw giving responsibility to each team for their actions and requests a 'code' to follow, i.e. "Please do not have a student in the company of less than two mentors at one time.", this probably wouldn't have to happen, and FIRST would be exempt from responsibility for incidents. If a student accidentally is hurt by the robot in autonomous, that doesn't mean that FIRST is getting phone calls about it.
