WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF FIRST!!!

I personally wish you best of luck on this journey--it's tons of fun yet at times a bit challenging--but no worries everyone is this great community especially on this forum will help always. If you have to always just pm someone or everyone basically has a screen name and you can im them-- and if someone doesn't know we'll get you to the right person that can help you out--so all and all-- welcome and you are in a ride for the time of your life!!!

Attempting to learn everything is a noble, if somewhat hopeless, goal. You have, however, come to the right place. ChiefDelphi has the largest forums for FIRST discussion.

Hey it's possible. It's definately possible. All you need to do is read read read. You are talking to a person who practically has almost every single book on robotics. I am a intravert though so trying to absorb large amounts of data through books might not be the best thing.

If you are trying to figure out what type of FIRST work you want to do, we have organized it by subteam on our website. I doubt your team will divide things up exactly the same, but it is more than likely that they will have similar groups.

Best of luck!!
