Re: Mentors

And their was a rookie team in 2003 that did beautifully with a large assortment of devoted mentors.

Last year and this year most of our mentor were and are non-technical mentors. We had mentors that worked on logistics, paperwork, fundraising, the big one--food, and PR. Without mentors we would have starved.

On the technical side. Although they had some say, most all the design was student thought of, proto-typed, and built.

Teams work without mentors but do not have the time, skill, or connections that are needed to make the differences FIRST wants to make.

I would make a bet that every team that has won the National Chairman's Award had mentors on their team. As much as FIRST gives us to do, it is impossible to do it well without mentors support and knowledge.
