Re: Mentors Input
Who builds robots/where?
Mainly students, mentors give input but try not to touch the bot a whole lot
Do you have dedicated space/machine shop?
it's a classroom shared with a couple classes, the team has maybe 1/3 dedicated, and lots of table space in the other 2/3
Do you rely on corp. sponsors to build?
not really
Who manages the team/students?
All parents and a couple teachers
How involved is your school?
In previous years not a whole lot, in more recent years we've been trying to get the school more involved
How involved are your students parents?
Parents who are engineers tend to come in often, parents who like organizing help a lot with bringing food for meetings and small things like that
What is your teams operating budget?
How do you get compensated, besides the obvious joy of watching your students grow?
Our main mentor is considered a "coach" with the school and gets paid a relatively small amount, we've rotated mentors a lot in recent years but in the past they have mostly donated this back to the team
What is your typical build season schedule?
week schedule:
1-2: Design/prototype
3-5: Build/Test/Break cycle
6: scramble to fix every broken
per day:
3:10(school gets out) - 7
F 3:10 - 8 or 9
S: 10-7
Su: off unless needed
