I started mentoring an FRC (high school robotics contest, not battle bots, about 110# mostly custom robots playing a 3v3 game) team 2 years ago and it’s really been enjoyable and rewarding to see the students grow in their capabilities and to have a competitive framework, a timeline, budget and time pressure, and then a break from the insanity when the season is over.

Many, many teams need technical mentors and I really look forward to each season. Not 100% if I’ll continue once my kids graduate, but I wouldn’t rule it out.

I think you forgot the part where you offer advice. I hope your students get more instruction than your credentials

What credentials? Just bring your enthusiasm and learn along with the high schoolers.

I literally never mentioned my credentials and did say that I mentored. Did you respond to the wrong post, perhaps?
