Re: mentor involvement

The mentors on our team are great, I dont know where we would be without them. They believe that we should design the robot and come to them with the problems and when we need help. They also keep an eye on us to make sure that our designs are feasible since they are the ones with the engineering degrees. This past weekend the school that I attend (its a statewide magnet school and we live on campus) had an extended weekend and the rest of the school went home but some of us decided to stay to work on the robot. It ended up that one of the engineers was sick the entire weekend, I dont know where we would be now without his calls everyday with what his thoughts were and where he thought we should be. Having someone there who has project management skills is essential to building a reliable robot and putting together a good team.
