Re: Rookie Team, Any Advice?

If you haven't yet, take the time to sit down with your ENTIRE team, that's right, every student and mentor no matter what group they belong to, and read the ENTIRE rulebook together, outloud, preferably on a large screen. Take the time to answer any and all questions regarding any rule.

It may seem like a big waste of time, but in the long run, every member of your team knowing every rule inside and out, is going to save you a lot of headache during the build season. 68 did this every year I was on the team (and I'm sure they still do) immediately after the password was given out. It keeps students from designing illegal prototypes, and saves a lot of time during the build season answering the same rules question over and over again (it happens trust me).
