Ok, two people made comments disagreeing with my previous post. One mentioned Apple, the other mentioned Post-its. I'm not going to pretend to be knowledgeable of Apple, though I see no story to connect those dots. Post-its, however has nothing to do with this scenario. Read up on how they were made and they don't apply to this at all.

That said.

As I've read your posts, I've noticed that you are completely dedicated to your team. You seem to believe that your mentor should take one for the team. I agree. However, If he won't...maybe you should. Seems like his design has a lot of work and could still have a lot of learning opportunities. Maybe, going with his idea now and involving the entire team with his design would allow you to get a robot done while the students could all take part. Next year, I would see about getting rid of him. But for now, you must deal with it.

Also, When I read a thread like this, I make a point not to read what team posted. This is for a simple reason, it doesn't matter who posted it. Leave the team's public image out of it and give him your advice.

A note to Rick TYler: When it comes to designs, there is no right or wrong. There is what will work and what won't. I agree that the mentor's design has a slightly better edge at working. However, with that said, if both ideas work...either is as good as the next. And that is when majority rules.
