Experience in a rural setting could also be advantageous because of all the heavy equipment and the mechanisms in use on that equipment. I saw a story about one team from a rural area whose Recycle Rush robot was inspired by a hay baler.
Every freshman or first time FIRST student comes onto the team with little to no experience. The whole point is that you will get to learn how to do some new things. - engunneer [more]
