Re: How involved are your mentors?

Mentor involvement varies on our team based on groups.

I can't really give a super accurate measure of all the groups; but Design, my area, is pretty close to 60/40 (mentor - students). This year, after prototyping, the build mentors would ask for certain parts. Our job ended up CADing up said parts and then working with those mentors to not only deal with issues that would pop up, but more importantly to learn from them why they requested certain features in the part. Thus they pass on their knowledge of physics and fabrication, and we get the satisfaction of a totally student CADed robot. Worked well.
