Thanks. I figured there had to be a few around here somewhere, just couldn't find it.

One of the biggest causes of rookie struggles is spending precious build season time learning things which could have been mastered beforehand - you're going to need every bit of that time to work on the robot.

I think this is the hardest part. We don't have any time left really. We had our first meeting yesterday, but it was more of an info session for students and parents. There were two experienced teams there (my old team included, which was how I became involved.) and we were basically explaining FRC to them. We haven't really set anything up yet, except for which Kickoff we are going to, and a workshop the following day.
