I spend my mentoring life dealing with parts acquisition and storage, asking "are you sure that battery is charged," and doing 3-minute design reviews. If the senior students weren't helping the new ones, all of our robots would be Protobots. The success of Exothermic Robotics started with the five students who joined five years ago, and their passing along their knowledge to new students. (Don't even ask what it looks like when I try to drive a competition robot. I don't like being laughed at.)
