I believe that mentors should teach, advise and assist. If mentors are suffering from burnout then they are too involved.
An issue that is just as important as funding is getting space for robot work and parts storage. Having to move from location to location make it difficult to maintain any degree of organization.

Not too involved.........they are probably not involved enough.
Get more involved in your school, in your booster club, with your students, meet their parents, meet their teachers and admins. The only way (IMHO) to avoid burnout is to replace/duplicate yourself. If you are able to do this, the load becomes lighter with better results.
I believe it was Henry Ford that said, "I wouuld rather have 1% effort from 100 men than 100% effort from 1 man."

Just keep doing. Everything. Keep designing, keep building, keep learning, keep fundraising. Build more robots, try more ideas, compete more and more and more. - [more]
