We were a rookie team last year (3329), and it would seem that last year was better for us than this year. One thing that you MUST be sure to do is to set your team up so that next year you get ONLY people that are going to be serious about being involved. This year we are running into the trouble of having a bunch of people that don't care and only a few that do, and our chassis isn't even done yet as a result. Take everyone's advice about that it isn't how good of a robot that you can build, it's about having a team that communicates and functions well with the leaders that are in place, because that is the main purpose of FIRST: to develop leaders of tomorow. do your reserch before deciding on a design, and get most of the major descisons done in the first week, because if you don't, they won't get done effectively. GOOD LUCK!
