Introducing - MOEmentum: FYI (First-Year Infobase)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Team 365 (Miracle Workerz/MOE from Wilmington, Delaware) wants to
assist first-year FIRST teams as they experience the full range of emotions
going through their first robot build season. Team 365 (MOE) is starting our
6th year in FIRST and, like other teams, has found it to be an incredible
experience. As any first-year team probably knows by know, it is also a
very challenging experience. Fortunately, through the FIRST community,
there is ample assistance.

Many teams have found their first year as a team to be rather challenging on
several fronts. "MOEmentum: FYI" is our way of helping first-year teams
progress through their first build and competition season. Each week, we will
send an e-mail to 2005 with a summary of the current week's tips and resources
along with links to the full text or document on the MOEmentum: FYI section of
our team's website (www.moe365.org).
This information will be organized by time frame relative to the build season,
and will be permanently archived for reference at any time of the year.

MOEmentum: FYI will be primarily comprised of tips from our student and
adult team members to help you focus on specific areas of importance
during the time frame we are sharing the information (i.e., pre-kickoff,
week 1, post-ship, etc.).

In conjunction with these tips, we will include documents which our team uses
to organize our activities. Feel free to use them as you wish.
