We are working through this, but I'm sure this isn't very uncommon for teams to experience this in one form or another of new parents and youth getting excited and not knowing exactly what FIRST is about.
In our case our parent was coming in (sitting with the team) not knowing a THING about FIRST (I had to give him the website even) and proposing new ideas and basically playing the role of a pushy (bossy) coach and even telling us that "climbing the mountain" during auton was easy, even after we told him that we don't have much experience in Java programming.
Please take a look at the attachments below. They are from the FRC 3928 Team Neutrino handbook that I modified for our FTC team.
Here's to hoping our next meeting tomorrow night goes better
