Re: Adult vs. Student coaches

I personally dont believe adults should be able to coach. If your robot is built by students students should make the decisions in the match. Adults tend to get too caught up in things and become angry. Thats probably why this year no adults or mentors can take up a complaint about a match. My drive team has made some decisions that have gotten us in trouble with our mentors but the results were either that we succeded in blocking the ramp, etc and that the robot got damaged. I have seen adults in between matches while teams were on deck changing batteries or doing some repairs and the students arent involved. If an adult is changing a battery, im going to wonder who built the robot. I dont think adults should be allowed anywhere but the stands.
