We get good support from my company. I cannot however let my regular work slide. Although the time I spend during normal work hours is not much, I do some emailing and purusing of the BB's. I also do some printing and copying as needed. I do get a chance to mentor over the phone some, all in all I'd say about 4 or 5 hours a week during normal hours, although this time usually gets made up. During the building season I probably spend 5 hours a day 4 days a week and then 10 on Saturday and sometimes we meet on Sunday so somewhere between 30 to 50 hours spent on FIRST. Off season I probably spend ~ 10 hours a week. the time away from family does impact but I have a very understanding wife and younger son, (future FIRSTer). All the time away from work to help the team is done with my vacation time right now I average about 12 days of vacation a year for FIRST.
I would not volunteer my time if #1 I wasn't enjoying it (I agree I get as much out of it as the students) #2 I didn't see it as being worthwhile, #3 I do believe that FIRST is having an impact on this generation.
We have two other mentors that put in about the same amount of time as I and several others that put in less.

See ya'll at nats, good luck and stay safe
