Congratulations! I'm glad to hear you will be back again.

FYI, here's something to cheer you on as you get a late start...

Way back when in 1992, yours truely was on a FIRST team. Our team wasn't even assembled until 2 weeks AFTER the Kickoff when our college (WPI) president said to one of the professors something akin to the following, 'I enrolled us in some robotics competition that started two weeks ago. I need a team and you're going to lead it. You've got 4 weeks.'

I got tapped to help on the team, we worked hard for 4 weeks, we showed up at the event, and we placed 2nd in a VERY close set of finals matches. FYI, Clinton/Nypro won and Delphi-E/Kokomo came in 3rd or 4th.

In other words, you can still kick butt even with a late start.

Good luck,

Eric
