so my question to you is this ... How did you convince your team that you need mentors and do you have any tips for me on how to do it ??
Well, I've got one major suggestion...

Show them some of the incredible FIRST robots from past years. Show them Wildstang and Chief swerving all over the field. Show them Beatty walking through all opposition in 2002. Show them the Technokats and their massive tanktread drive systems. Show them 60 and 308 lifting the goals in 2002.

Ask them... "Would we be able to do this without a mentor? Don't you think our chances of success are better if we have REAL ENGINEERING help? Don't you guys want to LEARN?"

See what they think.
