And as far as I know the team hasnt even been selected at the school, we got it started just before school ended befreo summer. Im guessing that it would take a few days after to get everything straighted out at the school too, so im guessing that the students wouldn't really get to work on the robot until the 10th? Since this is our first year, i dont really understand FLL yet and we are completely unexperienced. I still need to read the FLL book too, which may help me.

(also i feel stupid cause i dont know how to start a thread can anyone explain it too me?)

Thanks

A few days off won't be that bad. FLL build is much more relaxed than FRC, and teams put in a wildly varying amount of time. As long as you find some hard working kids, you'll be fine.

Also, keep in mind that you'll have to set aside some time to build the mission modules for the robot competition, before you can really start the robot.
