Re: New FRC Team

First off welcome.

FRC works a little differently then FLL because the parts used every year change. Everyone gets a kit of parts in January which they used to build the robot. I would say your two best options are
1) if you can get enough money for registration/ to compete you should do it this year. FIRST is very friendly to rookie teams and you will find out that even as a rookie team you can still succeed.

2) i would look for an existing team in your area that you could get friendly with. Most teams that are established already have many extra parts and working robots that they may let you borrow

either way you go i would look for another team in your area, go and have a meeting with them because you can learn more about FIRST from people who have done it before then you can just trying to figure it out for your self. FIRST is a big community, always willing to help each other. if you have any more questions please feel free to ask in these forums.

once again welcome.
