Re: When do mentors go too far?
In my opinion FIRST is about creating relations between students with adults and the only way this can happen is if they work together and learn from each other. Now if only the mentors work on the bot and there is no comunication with the students then that relation is being lost.
I am very proud to say that in my team, we students do all the work and our mentors just sit back and relax. During the building season they give us their thoughts and they help us develope ours, but we design and we built. At the competition mentors are the ones who actually don't touch the bot, once in a while they'll give us an advise or correct us but always letting us fix it or improve it.
