Re: [FTC]: Getting started in FTC

What area is your team in? As noted above, the best option would be to borrow some stuff from a veteran team.

It definitely gets you a nice discount to wait until our team is registered.

If you did want to get started early, you could get just a Mindstorms kit. Having two of those is nice, because it lets your programmers mess with that while the brick is tied up on the robot. FYI, after next year FTC will switch over to the new EV3 brick (though NXT will presumably remain legal), so there's a disadvantage to putting resources into an extra NXT Mindstorms kit.
