Re: Training technical mentors
I'm kinda looking for help here too. I'm the only veteran programmer on our team, and we have 2 rookies. We're also getting our first true programming mentor for a long time. I think he would understand the basic concepts of FIRST since he's one of the parents, but I need to teach him all of the technical aspects of the control system (especially since he works in web development).

So basically I'm looking for suggestions on what the best way would be to bring the new mentor up to speed on the control system. If it also involves teaching the rookies at the same time that would be awesome.
