: There is a tremendous learning curve for these robots.
: Why not help the rookie teams by shipping them a motor,
: a speed controller, the controller board, a set of RNets,
: and a joystick as soon as they sign up in the autumn?
: Let 'em start learning about these items ahead of time.

Good idea. It's tough enough getting organized the first year.
My own personal favorite idea is to have new schools 'adopted' for one year
by an experienced team to let them learn. Then cut them loose the second year.
With the understanding that they 'adopt' a school their third or fourth year.
Until the school district is saturated.
