I'm sure she's not the only one that would rather do all the work and fail, than do no work and win. It's a great feeling knowing a month ago you were banging your head on a table because you couldn't pickup a vision tetra, but now your robot that
you programmed is the 2nd robot to cap a vision tetra in autonomous. I couldn't get that kind of feeling if I knew that a mentor programmed it.
EDIT: I'm not meaning to say that I didn't need a mentor, the programming/electrical mentor was always there for me, but instead of doing the work for me he was acting as a safety net. If I fall into trouble with the code, he would bail me out, tell me what I did wrong, how to fix it, and send me on my way. That's what a true mentor should do.
