Please join NEMO! We created NEMO last spring for the mentors who deal with the non-engineering aspects of the team such as fundraising, team organization, teambuilding, public relations, etc. I'm sure you can find lots of advice from the NEMO forums on Chief Delphi.
Be sure to look at our "
18 Hints for Rookie Teams from NEMO" .
Find an area team who will mentor you or if none are available within reasonable distance, form a long-distance relationship with a team!
Welcome to the wonderful world of FIRST!
