Re: 2009 Wisconsin Regional

Hey everyone, I'm in a predicament.

As a Lead Programmer of two Wisconsin teams this year (one of which is now a Newton Semifinalist, and the supposed 22nd-ranked team at Nationals, match-wise), and as a graduating senior moving to Brew City to attend MSOE this fall, I have a dilemna:

Which team to mentor?

I seriously want to get back in touch with UPS, Hilltoppers, or More Robotics, but I know that they already have some great mentors, and to go with them would be denying the experience I could provide to one of the many burgeoning rookie and second-year teams already in the works in the Milwaukee area. Although I haven't yet filled out the forms to officially become a mentor, I want to take a look at some of the teams and see which team has the most need for a decently experienced programmer as a mentor.

Any suggestions?
