Re: Some Questions from a rookie team.
Yes, while the items are free, teams pay the shipping costs for those items.

To better gauge this, take a look at last year's KOP and what you receive. Quote:
Hmm, first I'm hearing about this. Since FIRST Choice seems to be companies dumping inventories anyways, I don't quite get this... |

Re: Some Questions from a rookie team.
Hello from 1610...
First you might want to contact team 3331 which is near-by to you for advice. One of their mentors used to be on our team. We started in 2005 and still have some things we've never used from our rookie year. You might want to hang on to things even if you don't use them as one year you might need them. Hand tools...you can never have enough of. A good drill press and miter saw with a aluminium blade will help a lot. You'll need at least one good vice and work bench. Be prepared to buy lots of parts , but if you design and plan your robot well that will help keep the parts list (and spare parts) down. Try to keep spares of your most important parts. You can never have enough Victors and other controllers. In the off season they can be used for practice and training. Don't forget the safety stuff. Keep plenty of safety glasses and a good first aid kit on hand. Its also a good idea to contact your regional director and area senior mentor for advice and help. Other teams near-by can help sometimes. Your probably going to go to the NC regional and they have a good bunch of folks that run that. |
