The First Build Season
As that wonderful time of year rolls around again, veteran teams (Which in this discussion will just be teams older than 1 year) find a new group of rookies moving in. Whether they be first year seniors all the way down to 8th graders, many kids new to FRC will be getting involved.
So. What are the veterans' advice for first year students during build season? How can the older members and mentors help alleviate the "I'm just standing around all the time" or "sorting nuts and bolts isn't helping the team" feeling that rookies to a robotics team so often have? What should new students expect during build season? Can they prepare before hand? Will this take years off of their life?
I'm looking forward to seeing Chief Delphi's perspective on this wonderful issue.
