Re: Mentor Involvement
The sole exception to the, "it is up to your team" rule is when safety is concerned. If a mentor sees a student doing something unsafe it is their RESPONSIBILITY to stop them. This includes physical harm to the students or damage to materials or equipment. Students, if a mentor yells at you to stop I highly suggest you listen, remember, many mentors work with these tools daily and KNOW what is dangerous and what is not. We are also liable if you get hurt or equipment gets damaged.

And this is NOT just my $.02, this should be LAW for all teams.
