Re: Some Rookie Advice (Wait, no we're the ones that need it so...eh nvm)

This is a list of a few thoughts that come to mind:

1. Make sure your team is communicating.

2. Standardize.

3. Ask questions first, build later...but not too late.

4. Write things down.

5. Think things through.

6. Play to win -- make sure your robot accomplishes the tasks of the game.

7. Practice and test.

8. Remember it's a marathon, not a sprint.

Hope that helps somewhat.
