Re: On field Coach - Student or Adult

Though I think any team with an adult coach has a couple of advantages, I think it's absolutely the wrong thing to do.


I just looked up 'mentor'--"an experienced and trusted advisor" An advisor just helps with his advice.

We adults could just design and build the robot too and I'm pretty sure it would be better than the kid-built one. Probably could drive better too--the best fighter pilots are in their 40s. But this game is for the kids to learn. Any jobs we do are ones that they don't get to learn from.

When I see my drive coach go-up against an adult in a disagreement, she always 'loses' even when she's right. Its just not fair. Against the spirit of this organization. My opinion.
