It's not even just rookie teams; sometimes teams just have member turnover problems and run dry. This is especially an issue when there aren't any software mentors to make up for it.
True, but I was a rookie this year, I had no problem learning... Just Look at the $@#$@#$@#$@# API and documents... How is that hard? If you have ANY programming experience, you can easily use the API, its so well named and stuff, I just asked what the things were connected to and Bam, its in the API... People don't realize how important reading documents and the API is... Also the mentors had a "Let all the students do all the work and just assist them" type of mentality, I can say they were great, but they did not needed to help me directly with coding. Just some of my questions on technology
