I know I sound like a broken record but please don't forget to include some non-technical workshops also, and any teams who are considering mentoring rookies next year, point them to the resources available online EARLY IN THE FALL - NEMO, MOEmentum, RINOS, Team-in-a-Box, to name a few. There are lots of presentations from past FIRST kickoff workshops as well as the FIRST conferences on the FIRST website also. Every spring I hear from rookie mentors saying they wish they'd found NEMO earlier in the season...
