Re: Training Rookies...

-do nothing but sleep for the week before build season (you won't during)
-figure out what you want to do, find a person who does it well, and shadow them. I did this, and learned LabVIEW in its (almost) entirety in two weeks
-prepare for the worst: what can go wrong will, and they prevent you from using duct tape on the robot


best of luck to you
