There are many local kickoffs on Jan.4th which every team should be attending to 1) Find out what the game is and 2) pick up some of the kit of material. At some of the sites there are seminars scheduled to share information (cooperation and sharing experience are encouraged in the FIRST - by the way, it's not US FIRST anymore since there are many fine teams from Canada, Brazil, England and other countries). Back to the seminars - You should see if the place you are going for the kickoff has a "Rookie Camp" - this is where a veteran team or teams will generally outline the "Do and Don'ts" to help the Rookie teams from going off and doing something that would be detrimental. Lastly, use our Forum to "Ask questions about whatever - but please check out the existing threads because once this thing gets rolling in January the sheer # of posts will astound you and we get many redundant or nearly redundant questions. As a service to "Just the Rookies" I'll see if Brandon can add a Forum where Rookies can ask questions without them being intermingled and lost in the other threads - sort of a Place where Rookies can ask questions that Rookies always ask" - Have fun and Best of Luck this year!
