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.
This and what IKE stated are precisely why I personally am not ready to mentor. Simply put, I still want to build the robot and design most of the parts.

Maybe in a few years.
