Re: Rookie Team...

I would say that yes you are aboslutely still a rookie. Consider yourself "red-shirted"; just because you practice with the team doesn't mean you played.

Besides being a technical rookie, there is a lot that changes when you are actually competing. You still never actually competed, you never got the chance to be involved in the competition. There are some teams who are "rookies" but have dozens of mentors that have years of FIRST experience.

Being a rookie is all about your team number.
