Random Selection
A friend of mine helped me on this by creating a program to randomly select teams from The Blue Alliance. All teams are divided up to 6 groups based on their rookie year to stratify data. From each group, up to 25 (team) numbers are randomly generated as long as they:

Sorry about the delay! I've just finalized my experiment process. Below is how the study's going to collect the data for analysis. The first survey is now public for any team is willing to participate in the study to fill out!!
Methodology Abstract
The main study subject will be rookie/first-year FRC participants, with around 5-15 FRC students from each participating team (# depends on team size) responding to 2 tests over a 7 week period. Stage 1: Team Background Information Collection Estimated time to complete: Survey — 5~ min Suggested completion date: 12/31/2019 Respondent: ONE mentor or student from each team (preferably one who knows the team well) Short Description: This survey gathers basic information such as team number, team size, team history, etc. The person to fill out the survey will most likely be the correspondent for the next two stages as well. **This survey is currently public and accepting responses/new study participants. It's small but obvious.
This project used to be solely focused on mentors' affect on Robotics programs. This has since changed. After laying out some different options, it's clear to me that many other factors completely independent on adult mentoring can play large roles in the participant's learning experience. I've decided to broaden up the topic so it covers more factors of learning. These factors will be analyzed along side with mentors' effects. It's important to note that the original plan for mentor vs robotics analysis would not be narrowed because of this change. This will only be a more inclusive research as important factors (other than mentors) of this program are not ignored. This will also not be a huge change on methodology. The main Stage 2 & 3 will not be changed at all, just a few added questions to Stage 1's survey. For this research project I will constantly be looking out for any resources centered around my topic: Robotics and Mentoring alike. (If you have one that is not listed, feel free to email me!) This means that this Reference Page will get longer as time goes on. The purpose for this page is to capture all the pre-existing knowledge on my topic and to give a better understanding of where there might be gaps that I can address in my own study later on.
