I was not heavily involved because I was the coach.
Wouldn't it be great if you mentored a student coach instead of coaching yourself? Being able to pass on your skills in both coaching and engineering to yet another generation, isn't that what mentoring is all about?

The reward for mentoring is watching the students learn and develop from the experience, without having to be directly involved in the competition.
