We've also got a decent map on the FIRST Chesapeake site.

Welcome to the right coast! I also moved between two FRC teams in HS, although it wasn't during the season. I learned from that experience that it wasn't super useful to couch all of my new experiences in terms of what my old team did... it was better to keep an open mind and give myself the time to learn the culture of the new team. It's your 2nd ANYTHING (programming language, CAD platform, robot control system, FRC team, relationship) that lets you distinguish between the weird little intricacies of a thing, and the underlying fundamentals of the whole class of things. Although really challenging, this will be an opportunity to gain a lot of cool insight that's not accessible to most FRC students.
One wondered why they couldn't practice in the gym that day - because the robotics team had it reserved was the answer. "Oh, we have a robotics team?"
Sigh. This is a team with a low number. They've been around for at least a dozen years. There's still a lot more culture-changing to do. - GaryVoshol [more]
