Challenging is good because if you can't explain the reasoning then perhaps not enough went into it. Remember that the mentor has gone through the processes himself and know his/her reasoning. He/she doesn't know yours and needs to build confidence in your thought process. It would be good to question their ideas to learn from them or to see if they really thought their process through.

Don't spend too long on building any part of your robot. This can cause problems on the team and there won't be time to test before ship.
