Re: Training Rookies...
Just be enthusiastic, and look for an oppourtunity to latch onto a senior who knows what they are doing. It can sometimes be hard to find one who won't just brush you off, but offer to help with stuff and someone will pick you up. Otherwise, do the tutourials for what you are interested in, and try to get involved in any off season projects you can.

A little research into the history of FRC robots and previous design and programming information will make you far more useful in your first few years.

Welcome to FRC in Canada, btw, what team are you with? (they probably have a rookie training program if you were on a Vex team already)
