-Label, label, label. We label our tool cart and cupboards. This makes it so much easier for anyone to grab you a part. Our bolt cases has CADed bolts taped to the top so we can quickly grab a bolt and know for sure what size it is.

-Keep things clean, whether it be your shop, pit, or robot. So many things are preventable when you stay clean. Less safety hazards, better pits, less malfunctioning parts. Someone have nothing to do? They clean.

-Network. I have had two years in FIRST and I already know so many people on other teams. For those new to Chief Delphi, networking really does help you in the long run. Maybe you'll be picked for an alliance because of it.

-Teach. If a team member asks you a question, answer them. Don't say "I don't know" or "Because I said so". If they're taking the time to ask, help them understand. If you don't know, tell them where they might find an answer. No one likes to do things blindly.

-Scout well. Never blow off scouting. It doesn't matter if you're placed last in your competition all day, you never know what will happen. Scouting not only helps in alliance selection, but in every match you play.

-If you get stressed, take a break. Too many people try to work when they're obviously frazzled. When you work while stressed, errors are made, and the stress increases.
