G'day!

Greetings from the Australia......

A couple of high level things to consider....

1. Build philosophy - FRC has quite a bit of latitude in what mentors do versus what students do. Make sure you and your mentoring crew think through how you want to go about this so that you are giving your students opportunities to "up-skill" during build season, the year as a whole, and year-on-year. This extends to drive coach, and the non-robot/build aspects of your team as well.

2. Sustainability - Think about how you are going to build a program so that your older students get replaced by younger students, how you get your next batch of younger students, your mentoring crew, your sponsors, ......

All the best with your rookie season!
