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

I have seen things as a rookie twice. Once as a student on a new rookie team and my first year as a mentor when I worked with a rookie team at college.

As a student, I wish I knew when we were rookies network, network, network. Whether it be a spare part or even an alliance, new friendships never hurt.

As a mentor during our rookie season, well I could probably write a book on what I wished I knew before starting that adventure. But one of the best lessons from that year...Even if the math says no, well sometimes the robot says yes and does what it wants anyways.

......

On a side note I remember a few teams at BMR back in 2006 that didn't understand the dot on the badge and thought it was the team captain's badge.
