Re: Mentors
There is one prime-directive for the mentors on each team (straight from DK): Dont Let Your Team Fail.
Simply: dont let your team go down a path that ends up at a regional with a non-functioning, inspection failing, half finished, or otherwise unusable robot.
Its up to the mentors to make certain the team does not fail. For the students this program is a learning experience. The mentors are accountable to people, the sponsors, their employers, their managers. They will be the ones who have to stand infront of the people who funded your team, supplied mentors, supplied facilities and equipment and explain why your team showed up with a robot that could not move or participate in the games?
If you feel like the mentors are taking over the design and fabrication then I would venture this is the most likely reason.
