Re: Need advices from veterans!
There's a lot of good advice here but there is one key resource I don't see being mentioned. The mentors and veteran students on your team are some of if not the best resources for learning about the process.
I agree with the sentiment that it is best to start out by being an expert in one system. Do to the way our team formed I did not have that luxury, but I wish I had. Select a system, then find a vet or mentor on your team that worked on that system last year. Have them go through last year's 'bot with you and explain how that system works. ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS! Have them explain to you how it was made from an idea in someones head all the way to it's final form.
