Re: which is better as a student or mentor....
Definitely the mentor.
If your a student, your proud because you helped build an award winning robot. If your a mentor, your proud because you helped build an award winning team. Don't get me wrong. I loved building the robots and still love an engineering challenge, but building a person's future is so much more rewarding.
Note: I in know way believe that I am responsible for a student's success. Their success is their success. I am just happy to be there and teach them anything and everything I can. A year where the students learn a lot and win nothing is more rewarding than a year where the team does well and doesn't learn much.
