It never hurts to try to put your emotions and feelings of being overwhelmed into words. It can clarify and bring things into focus for you. You have made a good start by saying that you "have so many questions..." so -
go ahead - write them down. Then read them and add to them or see how many you can answer or give options to. Scratch some off if you want. Prioritize them. It's your list of questions and it is helping you think and clear a way to understanding and problem solving. When you have a list (which is never-ending on a robotics team. ), send it to the mentors that Allan has referred you to, along with an explanation of your situation. They will help you. Really.

And... as an extra bonus, share from your list of questions with us if you would like. It would do 2 things - offer an opportunity for members of the CD community to offer insight and it would also give us an opportunity to think about your questions, your situation, and put our thoughts into words.

The idea of taking your robot out during lunch is excellent. Make sure you go through all the proper channels to do that, if there are any.

Allan - have fun on the road and take care!
