Re: Mentors level of power

On 1902 we had two types of mentors, college mentors and adult mentors.

The college mentors are the heart of the build season. They bring in years of FIRST experience and know how things work. For the most part they are the ones that pass on the knowledge to the high school students, who do build but also learn and will someday be college mentors themselves.

As much as possible we have the HS students do the building. We all vote together what we want the bot to be.

In software 50%+ was programmed by a HS student with an adult mentor guiding him. The HS student was so good he helped other teams as did the adult mentor.

Added note:

My guess is that:

College mentors did most work on bot
High school students 2nd most work
Adult mentors 3rd on time working on bot (exception is software)
