This is too true. A friend of mine was mentoring a rookie team last season as the only technical mentor and found himself ignored by the students most of the time, despite his 7 years of FRC experience.

Some teams/people may just need to fall, and fall hard, before they accept any help. All that we can hope for is that a team or individual doesn't get completely turned off from FRC/FIRST before they seek support.
