Re: rookie teams, what do we need to know?

FIRST produced a team handbook that has a lot of great organizational information in it: http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles...-%20Final3.pdf

The team timeline is really helpful too; it gives a good sense of how to plan for your many deadlines: http://www.usfirst.org/uploadedFiles...meline3.pdf%20

FIRST Robotics Canada has a bunch of workshop presentations that might help you out, design, strategy, how to run a team, and a slew of others.

You can also give a look at the Team Resources page on the NYC/NJ FIRST website. We have some FRC resources, various tutorials and guides and even some sites to help with fundraising.

Hope this helps!
