Re: What's your mentor makeup?

Our team has 3 mentors, none of which are professional engineers. Our Fearless Leader, Mr. Ballou, is the Art/Theather Tech teacher at our school. He is an engineer by training.

Mr. Applegate is the Physics teacher. I think his training is in chemistry.

Mr. Nette is the father of one of our members, and I honestly have no idea what his engineering background is.

An alumni of our school, and friend of mine, might be taking a year off from MIT, in which case we might get our first student mentor.

Frankly, I'm glad we don't have tons of engineers as many teams do, as they might become too involved in the robot and suck away our fun
