Re: Why FIRST needs rookies.
It is true that a lot of rookies are inexperienced and do not play the lead roles on the teams and some seem to have the main role of being someone to tease, but that isn't always the case. Last year we had several Freshman/rookies make pit and flight and they deserved it. This year one of the designs we are seriously considering was mostly thought up by a Freshman. And there are a couple of other Freshman/rookies who are going to make our Engineers' and team captain's job of selecting pit crew very hard, so our veteran team members better be on their toes...

And on my watch, I openly give the Freshman/rookies permission to boss around the veterans...
