This is very true. This is my 3rd year on our FRC team, however I am only a freshman(middle school students are welcomed to join our team, I joined in 7th grade). Currently I am mechanical captain and lead CADder of our team. This said, you definitely need at least one year of experience on the team. In 7th grade I worked solely on the mini bot. Only at competition did I realize what FRC is really about. This lead me to completely dedicate myself in 8th grade, in which I learned CAD over the summer, and stepped up to take the position of lead CADder of the team for the 2012 build season.
