Planting a team

[Jimmy Nichols]

Bonner's Ferry is showing up as Northern Idaho. Assuming this is correct you do not have a FIRST Senior Mentor in Idaho. Your Regional Director is Richard Anderson and he can be reached at rimrock43@gmail.com.

I suggest contacted him about starting up new teams, as he may already know of some districts that are looking into FRC.

The following is for fun, see others previous posts for real suggestions

To achieve best results, use the following process for planting a new team:

- Obtain your seeds prior to March, and liberally soak them with robotics talk.
- Planting should occur in March-early April, depending on your area. It's best to plant them within view of many active plants, preferably in a competition setting.
- Nurture the young plant throughout the summer through the application of "Mentor" brand fertilizer
- Help the young plant to flower by taking it to local fall gatherings to interact with established plants
- Take care to provide continuing support as the fruit grows through January and February
- Harvest the new plant for the first time in March or early April, preferably in a competition setting so the new fruit can win an Award!
