Jane's comments are the keys to real success. Good communication can solve a host of issues.

I believe that mentors should teach, advise and assist. If mentors are suffering from burnout then they are too involved.

An issue that is just as important as funding is getting space for robot work and parts storage. Having to move from location to location make it difficult to maintain any degree of organization.
