Re: What do you guys suggest for teams that have little to no idea on anything

Whatever you end up doing, and there are a number of great suggestions here, among them is building the kit base and seeing if you can make it work better.

Whatever you end up with, acknowledge your limitiations and have a good plan when you go onto the field. If you are a low robot that can scoot under the bar and put low goals in... work hard at doing that.

No matter what you do, be consistent in your approach to game play, work with the other robots and have fun. If you can't do something tell the others.

This is going to be a game of Alliances working together. Listen to your alliance partners and do what you can to help the Alliance.

Most of all, have fun, you are going to look back on this experience with pride. Most high school kids never do what you are about to. Work hard, accept failure as part of the learning, be proud of what you accomplish and keep learning from others. Try and concentrate on finding ways to solve problems and failures and don't ever dwell on who is at fault. Just pitch in and fix the problem.

Congratulations to the hardest fun you will ever have!!
We all look forward to seeing you on the field!!
