For all intents and purposes I do mean weaker teams when I say rookie.
I should clarify that when I talked about rookies I do not mean to call out any teams in particular nor am I just talking about the teams new to FRC. Really "rookie" would apply to any low tier team regardless of what puts them at a perceived disadvantage. Regardless of how its taken being called a rookie, or a newbie, is only an insult when you add negative intent.
If you call yourself a rookie that doesn't mean you are less of a team, it just means other teams will react to you differently. My hope is that most teams hear rookie and take it the right way and go "I wonder if I can help them?" Instead of "what a bunch of new rookies."

All flowers start with seeds nothing to be ashamed of so lets just get the fertilizer and bloom a little quicker.
