Re: High School Student to Mentor ratio

We have 13 or so Students, 3 (full time mentors) 1 college level part time mentor and... A friend of mine (mentor) from my high school days that was able to swoop in and help big time in the last week of build. None of the full time mentors studied engineering. Happly this year we have a good ballance of kids with varied skills and interests. So not everybody was just trying to build the robot. Hopefully this year at the events we will show better than last year, broken, bent and disappointed. As a group we think this years Bot has a much better chance, and a large part of the design was driven by trying to avoid the destruction done to our bot by other bots and by bad driving.
