The students get to build the robot, drive the robot, and be human players. You gotta let the mentors have
some of the fun.
Seriously, I'm quite biased because I have known some great mentor coaches. I don't disagree with having students as coaches as well, and I don't doubt that student coaches can do just as well as or better than adult coaches. I think it's a team-by-team decision. The student coaches
do need to learn to be just as assertive as the mentor coaches though.
