Re: Teams with Alumni Mentors

Yep. We did it. My girlfriend Monica and I started a rookie team this year. Things have been wonderful. We have a very dedicated group of students. We are out of Flint, MI. She works for GM and I work for Stryker Medical.

Our team has only college mentors running the show. We have sponsors, but no engineers or highschool teachers to speak of. This is by our design.

Kettering is one of our sponsors, and part of our home. They have been generous enough to give us a place to work and access to machines.

We have picked up other FIRST alumni in A-section (Kettering: 3 months of school, 3 months of work, non stop for 5 years with alternating sections of A and B) who are also assisting the team.

It can be done! And, it can be done well! See you at the Detroit regional, and hopefully Nationals!
