For someone new to it all... it might be hard to jump into the mix especially when the time gets short. Build season not the best of time to take a new member by the hand and teach them what and how to do it.
This is why we started our second team. We typically had about 45 students, 15-20 new members. Many were afraid to step in and work. We now have a team for veterans and a team for our rookies. Building 2 different robots keeps everyone busy all season.
