I have to agree that mentors, especially in key areas is a key to team success. We've had the biggest difficulty with electrical engineers who can help with the control system and programming, you mention mechanical engineers, other teams have mentioned teacher support. If you are missing one of these pieces its hard to field the team.
Yeah but out of the 28 teams that played with us year one there are only five left. It can be done but it's really really hard.
