Wow, you guys are already on the right start. The website looks great for a first start. Seeing as you're in Ridgefield, there are many, many teams in the area that I'm sure would be more than willing to help you guys out. If you need anything, feel free to contact us, we're just a ways south in North Brunswick. As posted before, we run a program called RINOS--Rookies In Need of Support, a resource for rookie teams looking to start up. You can follow the link above or check out our website @
www.raiderrobotix.org and click on the RINOS link. Many of the NJ teams, including ours, have been doing this for 10+ years, and we're more than willing to help you guys out. All you have to do is ask!
