Re: Feasability of a FRC team at our school?

I agree 100% with Rick, "Mentors need to get in there and mentor or else you might as well hire baby-sitters." You are doing all of your roboteers a HUGE disservice in not showing / teaching / MENTORING the right way to do things. For our Vex teams we rely on the FRC Sr. Mentor, our best mechanical designer, to be elbow deep with the Vex roboteers during the first weeks.

It's not about the robot, it's about the roboteers and inspiration. Use mentors for your FTC (or Vex) teams, they need all the help, guidance and direction they can get.
