I believe you don't really understand what it's like to be a mentor until you become one yourself. When robotics stops being fun and you're doing it like a second job. The most important thing is to keep a fun atmosphere between the mentors. They are the support structure you need to keep running when your batteries get low. Kids come and go, but the mentors usually stick with it. Don't let the kids get the best of you, they'll thank you a couple years from now. The students may think they can do it themselves, but every mentor knows it's just the teenager superman effect coming into play.
This looks like a good time to thank my high school mentors, #175 Buzz Robotics, thanks
