Good luck!

Oh, was I volunteering to organize terms and definitions?

I really, really wasn't. My background is in particle physics and in English literature (as well as beekeeping and tabletop wargames, but I don't think those count). I generally find myself barely qualified to talk to engineers, much less run a FIRST team.

I *am* volunteering to help proofread, edit, make suggestions, and so forth, including identify terms that should be defined when I read the document -- but I am probably the wrong choice (read: definitely the wrong choice) to actually organize terms and definitions out of whole cloth.
