I've been on my team for the past 4 years and this year (5th) will be my first mentoring. One of the biggest things I tell our rookies is that no matter how small and useless their task may seem, it is all vital to the building of the bot. If its sorting nuts and bolts, now someone else isn't spending 20 minutes looking for the hardware they needed.

Our team is also notorious for using an absolute ton of 1/2in aluminum standoffs that are usually made by the rookies. They always complain about it because its tedious and takes a lot of time to make the quantity we need. However the robot would not function without them (critical part) and after their made, each person is 20x better at operating the machines than they were before.

Moral of the story, everything you do during build season matters.
