There is an interesting policy that we have on our team that might interest some of you guys.

From regionals and nats i noticed that there are a lot of teams where its mostly the montors working on the robot. I've seen pits where there were 4 45 yr old men aroudn the robot and the kids doing absolutely nothing.

Our mentors agreed when we were forming this team that they would not touch the robot unless we asked for their help. Our mentors are here for advice, cutting with power tools (were not allowed), and making sure we are safe.

There is one mentor we have who handles all the paperwork and i deeply respect her because i came to realize what paperwork really means. Deadlines, phone calls, travel arrangements, dealing with school staff, emails, faxes, and that is just some of it!
