If you know what you are hoping to have your robot do and are showing some positive signs for your prototypes, you are on a fine pace... As of right now, our team doesn't have anything that moves, but we're all feeling okay...
However, as a rookie team, you ought to be able to get some support in Texas... There are a lot of very strong, experienced teams in your state who make a habit of helping new groups.... If you don't know where to go/ask, you could start with the Senior Mentors in your region - Alamo (South) Region... If they don't directly help you, they should be able to help you make some contacts:
