We have 12 mentors listed. However how regularly are you talking?

There all the time? Me and 2 other mentors.
There a good part of the time? I'd say a couple more.
1 couldn't make it at all this season.
1 helped thru build season and summer robotics camp.
A few are there parttime.
We have 29 students on the books, and usually 15 show up on a good day.
Tonite there's 3 students and 2 mentors there working on stuff they don't need me for, so I'm home working on administrative/spirit stuff.

We have 1 teacher, and 2 mentors that show up on an average of once every 2 weeks. The problem is, all the Columbus Public Schools teams have to share our mentors from Columbus State Community College, so they're spread a little thin.

According to the last official roster

32 Students
34 Mentors/Parents


Edit:
Not all of the parents are "totally involved" so im guessing maybe 26ish adults

Slightly more mentors than students.

At last count:
10 students
5 engineers
2 teachers
4 college students (including myself)

although over the course of the build season there were two more college students involved, and one or two other students....

We've got 37 students and about 15 mentors. Of those 15 mentors, all but four are parents of the students on the team. We have pretty good community involvement.

We have 5 students to 1 adult ratio. We have great mentors, but still not enough for the manufacturing team. We need more engineers by far! (Not to mention more money, too!)

wow our team structure really is unusual then.....we have 3 mentors and a team of nearly 50 students...How do u other team's structure yourselves?, are u divided into diffrent departments, what are the responsibilities of your student leadership?

We had a pretty good mentor to student ratio: I believer our team has about 40 students, 25 that are really involved, and we had 10 mentors. This provides for about a 2.5:1 ratio. Of the 10 mentors, 3 of them were teachers, and they stepped aside, mostly doing PR; and 1 mentor was a parent. The others were engineers: 2 for programming, 1 for electrical, 3 for mechanical. Having 1 engineer helping us with our drive train team provided us with a very "fun" year.
