Getting Mentors out of Comfort zone

[YAK'ker]

so I gotta ask...why are your mentors making decisions for the team? I know that there are a lot of models out there on how teams can be run, but I guess our team has always been focused on letting the students design, vote on, and build the robot.

that said, sure - if we had an engineer who would come and mentor our team I bet they would want to have more input than a shop teacher, a former WWF wrestler, and the school librarian (our current mentors) do...possibly the team would win more?

I still wouldn't want the mentors making all the design decisions....just doesn't seem like students have the same degree of involvement when that happens.
