The best team is one that takes mentors, engineers, and students, and blends them all together. End result, a great robot and an even better team. I think that some of the best mentors seem to be college students. The reason is because they're closer to the high school kids, so a connection is easier to form. Plus, they're all still kids at heart, so they're just trying to have fun. Teachers are good mentors, but only if you get the really cool teachers. Some teachers aren't the best, so you don't want them. Now, most importantly, if the high school kids all get along with each other, that's a major step. Get everyone to work together, accept their mistakes, and so on, and you will have the best team ever. You might not win, but deep down in your hearts, you are all truely winners.
