Hi Bob
Welcome to the wonderful world of F.I.R.S.T.
2000 was our rookie year. We went to two regionals and took Rookie All-Star at both.
Here are some things that should help you:
1) Documentation; We had a full set of drawings of our robot. We
made part and assembly drawings in AutoCAD and had them
put into a nice portfolio.
2) Knowledge; Be sure the students can tell the judges about
their robot. It doesn't have to be down to the exact details but
they should be able to tell them what it does.
3) Pit area; Have a nice pit and keep it clean. In 2000 we had an
Easy-Up decked out as a Tiki hut and we all wore Hawaiian
shirts.
Hope this helps and good luck.
Wayne Doenges
