Re: Rookies
When you realize the spirit of FIRST, embrace it fully, and do everything in your power to cheer for and aid every single first team in the competition, you are no longer a rookie. When the students on your rookie team ignore the latest football game for the new episode of Nova, you're no longer a rooker. When you fall asleep and dream of gears pwm cables and truly believe that the IFI controller challenges the greatest Monet, you are no longer a rookie.
Congratulations to the rookies this year, btw. I was VERY impressed with not only your robots but with your spirits - I met teams that had spirits rivaling teams of 7 years, even when they fell into last place.
And don't believe for a second that your age diminished any respect we hold for you, rookies. With each induction of a mind into our program so too does creative ideas come. So too does the quality of the program improve.
