I believe there is a fine line between "helping and assistance" and "we're in charge." In that respect the term "mentor" can apply to anyone there as a resource to aide in building a robot, handling finances, etc. But when a "mentor" decides when, where, and what fundraisers are, what the team logo will be, what color the t-shirts will be, demanding certain tasks be done within a given frame of time, criticizing every aspect of work students do, refusing to acknowledge the good students do, highlighting the bad students do, it goes beyond "mentor" to "control freak." Granted, not all of our adults are like that, but there are a select few which try to exert more control than the students would desire, including decision on our team and robot names, despite literal 99% student resistance.

Food for though for all free thinking FIRST individuals.
