After we're done testing and possibly running it through an offseason event, we'll restore it back to COTS condition and then re-modify it during build season. It shouldn't be too terrible a task.

While the experience of multiple seasons is a huge asset, it doesn't mean a 1st, 2nd, or 3rd year team can't be competitive - if you have a good group of mentors, students and resources, you can accomplish a lot. Also, as EricH said, there are plenty of veteran teams who want you to succeed and will help you. All in all, FRC is a great program for any team, regardless of age.
