 There is a big difference between "we have not been able to figure out how to do it." and "it's impossible" or "don't even bother." Let's be constructive not discouraging. - PVCMike [more] |

I don't think robotics should be run like a class at all. I also believe that there shouldn't be too much teacher involvement either. The team should be run on almost entirely a student leader. FIRST is about much more than building a machine to play a game, it is about leadership, responsibility, and teamwork. All of which are best achieved with a student-run team. Don't get me wrong though, mentors play a very important role. What I have found works very well is that when you need something done that a student can't quite handle on their own, take 1 or 2 students and have a mentor work with them personally. This not only allows for a good learning environment but you also build strong relationships with your mentors, which is key in a good team.
