Re: Looking to Start an FRC Team
 

You could order our award winning Team in a Box DVD. This DVD/CD disk set has been helping Rookies, Veterans, Regional Directors, and Senior Mentors around the World, and the best part is that its free.

The disk was recently updated with content from National Chairmans Award Teams and even Dean Kamen himself.

The DVD now features video segments by Team 67 stepping through "Drive Train Basics" and Team 103 discussing "How to Create a Winning Animation". As well as advice form coaches students, regional directors, engineers, etc.

We deeply appreciate their contributions and hope to have more teams contribute as this product grows.

Over 1600 copies of Team in a Box have been distributed to 9 countries and 5 continents. We make this disk set available free of charge for Rookies, pre-Rookies and veterans that are helping rookies.

So check out Team in a Box Version 2! Just go to www.team341.com and click on the Team in a Box banner, scroll down and order online.

Best of Luck with your journey through the FIRST experience!!!

Also check out the Resources page on the NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) website - the white papers are also available here on ChiefDelphi, but are in one convenient place on the NEMO website. NEMO provides support to all four FIRST programs' team mentors who are involved with the non-engineering aspects of the team. Things like fundraising, recruiting mentors, teambuilding, planning travel, etc. NEMO has compiled papers on these topics as well as what to expect at competitions, creating a packet to give to potential sponsors, etc.

I'll be glad to help out if you have specific questions. Congratulations on recognizing that FIRST is something you'd like to see at your school!
