A Word About All Our Mentors
Without our mentors, there would certainly be no STEEL Boot Robotics. While we students are certainly capable engineers, artists, and strategists, the guidance of a mentor allows us to hone our skills even further. Mentors help ensure that all us students have the opportunity to attend competitions and be active throughout the entire FRC process. From rides to finances to industry preparation, it'd be hard to imagine where would be without them.
