I have a hundred more questions, but a lot of them I want answer specifically from other other mentors and how they dealt with certain situations.

If there is another website set up to help mentors (beside the FRC forum), I'm all ears.

Edit: These are all questions outside the actual competition.

The hypothetical situations when working with students go on forever. Considering that your team number is on your profile students may be watching you as you post (so spooky!). If you have questions on certain situations and you want to bring them to Delphi I don't mind, but just keep things vague... That is to say don't make it obvious who you are talking about. That being said I know how much I don't use the PM system on Delphi but if you find mentors willing to help with resolution or put some thoughts or input into a situation it might be wise to keep it on the PM system.
