Re: Starting a college-sponsored FRC Team

Daron,

If this will be your first year in college I would urge you to think very carefully about undertaking this rather large task. It's very easy to fall into the "omg robots" mentality as you navigate your college life and priority setting.

I was a member of Purdue FIRST programs until I realized that I was falling into that trap and wasn't being an asset to that program because I had ignored the rest of my life too much. That was my fault, Purdue FIRST runs an excellent program.

If you are confident you can handle the work (which, given that college programs exist, clearly many people can ) Purdue FIRST has also done a tremendous job in the past couple of years in documenting and collecting information on how college FIRST programs can be run.

Nica has also posted some related information on CD:

Good luck!
