Wait...what are so bad about by-laws? You haven't told us anything about them. I'm sure every FIRST team has rules and guidelines- like safety rules, participation rules (i.e. keeping a certain GPA), guidelines about how the team is structured, etc etc. The best course of action would be for your entire team to discussed whatever is being proposed by this mentor, and those of you who have problems with the suggestions can express them. I'm pretty wary of giving you ideas about how to completely trample someone else's opinion... =/

If your team discusses it and there is still a conflict, I'm sure the people on CD would be happy to give you advice about how to handle the problem, but we certainly need more information than what was given.
