I'll try to apply your ideas! Thank you again

Working within your means doesn't mean that you can't be ambitious. It just means that you should make sure that your ambition does not outstrip what you can realistically achieve.

It's also worth bearing in mind that, in FRC, there are many directions in which you can innovate other than the strictly technical, which may be better-suited to the resources of rookie teams. Finding new and innovative ways to interact with your community and promote interest in science and technology is just as important a part of FIRST (if not moreso) as the actual robot.
