Mentors would not be allowed to do repairs, only give input. What you all think, I think that would be pretty fun. Maybe just one match each team after a real event or something.

And provide the mentors with tattoos and customized disposable cameras... and solicit area business for food for the tailgating party and not only work at it, but clean up after it so the mentors can go inside and be interviewed for the morning news???
1257 must really be all mixed up, seems to me like we've got students coaching drive teams, doing the majority of repairs, managing nearly all financial matters, soliciting sponsors, and preparing all non essential items for the competition like t shirts and hair dye and such. Well then i guess our team should be following this thread, 'cept our mentors don't have to spend all day in school...
