I think the sentiment was that FRC is not a "cool robotics club". That's not why someone should mentor a robotics team. I would say that if all you would get out of college mentoring is the chance to build more robots, it's definitely not for you.
I'm not trying to be holier-than-thou and insist that everything I do in FIRST is in the selfless interest of Shaker's students, but I am in FIRST first and foremost to inspire them.
