Re: What has surprised you this year?
Being an alumni of and former 9-year mentor for team 33, I'm disappointed that I completely missed how important autonomous mode was (i.e. picking up frisbees from the ground.) Those 15 seconds are basically an extra bonus time, and I feel like it's important to use it resourcefully. Luckily, when paired with another team with floor intake, this becomes mostly a moot point.
Not game specific:
it caught me off-guard how difficult it is to switch teams. There are so many tiny adjustments, based on small nuances that each team has, and habits that formed from the previous team, that it is actually pretty stressful. It was an amazing experience though, and one I recommend to other mentors. It's made me a better mentor. I love my team and everything they've taught me!
