Do you have an adult coach or a student coach? Student

Why? We feel that the project is for the students and the students should do everything, and the teacher/mentor is there just to help out and give advice... (and weld)

Do you feel it increases your ranking, winning, and success in matches? I don't think it really matters if the coach is a student or an adult. The coach, anyway, should have good understanding and knowledge of the game and the rules.

Do you feel it enhances your team as a whole? Yes

What downsides are there? Maybe the lack of experience, but I don't think that really effects his functioning if the coach has a good understanding of the game.

Do you feel intimidated or persuaded by adult coaches on your alliance? No
