Let me add to this that with the kickoff closure in many states there are going to be lots of questions about the Kit of Parts and what the small package is.

Just wait a few minutes for it to be announced, there will be people posting what it looks like, you don't need to ask over and over. Many of you want to be "first poster!!" and you are up against seasoned pro's like Ryan, just give it a second so we don't get 200 posts.

Likewise the Kit of Parts list is part of the encrypted files (you did download them already?) so you'll be able to see it seconds after the password gets released. So wait to ask "Hey is the new VEX Pro smufagator in this years kit?"

Finally, while CD is a community meeting place, if you are in a weather challenged area, don't do all your posts to team members here. You have other methods, you can text, call, etc.

Good luck, remember to stay calm and organized. Quality teams tell me they spend less than 5,000 roboteer/mentor hours on the robot. So unless there is only 5 of you on the team you have lots of calendar time.
