Go to Post In my book the team building experience of the kids training the engineers in the operations on the field would be invaluable. It might not get a trophy but you win far more in the long run. - Wayne C. [more]

I agree with this. Conflict only serves to slow progress. Too much of it can affect the students, even going as far as draining motivation and morale from them. Another issue I feel would be ineffective leadership. Having the wrong people involved with running the team could also affect student support and motivation.

In the end, a team is only what its mentors and students want it to be. If students and mentors don't have the motivation to make a team work, then it simply won't.
