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

One great point that has been highlighted by the last couple of posters: you do NOT have to do everything yourself.

There will always be teams who can build robots capable of single-handedly doing everything the game offers.

If that's not you - that's OK. Focus on doing one part of it really well, practice like crazy, and sell yourself at competition -- we're not designed to do X, but if someone else can focus on that, leave Y to us and we'll make sure it gets done.

Scouts from other teams will value consistency over anything else. If you can be counted on to do a task, then you're worth something to a potential alliance that can pick and choose 3 reliable and consistent robots that together cover off all the tasks. If you claim you can "DO ALL THE THINGS!!!" but it's hit and miss, then alliances will pass you by for teams that are more reliable.
