Our team (84) does a few things to help the newbies. For teamwork, we have team building. I don't really know how to explain it. There are people who help groups work as a team by doing things together. It's kinda an expanded 'fall into somebody's arms' dealy. It helps newbies get to know each other and that stuff. It also helps a bit with sore feelings towards others.

We also go to post-season competitions. This helps get team spirit going, teach newbies how stuff works, and just let the older kids kinda relax (ha).

This year, the engineers tell us that we're going to be working on mock-up drivetrains. We're working on a better transmission... This should help the newbies get the idea of what goes on.

We also take the bot to demo's at local crap. We normally let the Freshman from the past year drive the robot. Drivers in training
