Mentors on drive team
This is my 4th year with FIRST, and at every competition I've ever attended, every Championship I've ever volunteered at I often see mentors filling the position of "Strategist" or this year: "Analyst." My team has a policy against mentors being on drive team, but I'm curious about costs vs. benefits. A lot of older teams can be seen with mentors filling a role, and I wonder if it might be advantageous for us to as well. The reason my team did it was due to a "mentors hands off" policy following the philosophy of "student design, student built, mentor approved." Meaning that the students did all of the work, and the mentors never touched a thing, but gave constructive criticism and guidance. The founding team members felt that mentors on drive team contradicted this. Thoughts?
