Helping Local Teams

[EricH]

If you have not read http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=47004, please do so now. You'll find out about the various pitfalls of mentoring during college--and why some people won't do it.

I'd find a veteran team that isn't strong in your areas of expertise and help them out before helping a rookie team, personally. It's a little bit "safer" because on a rookie team, you may be the only person who knows anything about the competition (AKA panic calls asking about the bumper rules).

Or, better yet...Al may be looking for inspectors at the Midwest Regional already. Or someone else at said regional wants a judge or other volunteer.
