Re: What Do You Wish You Would Have Known Your Rookie Year?

FIRST is more than a club. It's more than building a robot. The sooner you get that, the sooner you you will see it's benefits.

Possibly the hardest role of a mentor is not teaching, but getting people to learn- getting them involved. If I could have figured out anything, it would have been the benefits of FIRST and how real of a program it really is. Once you've figured that out, the learning starts. The ceiling of FIRST is inexistent.
