Both me and our other mentor were, at one point in time, mentors for team 1671 for several years. But since then we have left to help start up this rookie team in Sanger, CA.
That being said, 5817 is not an offshoot of 1671.
Although we are around 30 minutes from 1671's shop. 5817 has received no help from 1671 this season. We wanted to be sure that we stayed independent of all veteran teams nearby. We have some great teams in our area as well (1671, 1323, 3970). As mentors we wanted the students to work and have their success be truly "their" success. We did not want to go to an event and have people say "that rookie team is good because of this team".
1671 is definitely a great team, and having a world champion in our area is great for the central valley of California. We are looking forward to the honor of competing with several world champs at the central valley regional. And earning our spot in our local community.
By "resources" do you mean money (sponsor or school), school support or permission, build facilities, or mentors? All of these require different solutions. - Carol [more]
