Exclamation Re: Advice to Rookie Teams

The only advice I can strongly recommend for any new team is to make sure you have enough committed students willing to do the work. The students must be dedicated, not only the students but also teachers, college mentors (me), professors, parents, WHATEVER!
I would say for any team to start off is to do alot of fundraising. Fundraising can easily train your new students (recruits) for getting the name out in the FIRST community and their own town. Even if your team may not need the money, it is always a good idea to get out there and do something!
Another suggestion for a rookie team team is to host several meetings before the kick off. Meetings are highly important and with those you are able to open new news to the rest of the team.

GOOD LUCK!
