Go to Post Something has gone awry this year in FIRST. I think more teams are concerned with winning and their robot that they don't even stop to think about the kids on their team, or the learning experiences of others. - Amanda Morrison [more]

Re: 101 Things I Wish I'd Known Before My First FIRST Tournament

49. have your pit crew assigned before ship and give them practice on the robot

50. give your drivers a lot of practice, if there is space on the field and you have time use the field

51. color coordinate your tools for easy access in the pits, say i need a 10/24 screw, wheres it o, it's blue...

52.have a big banner to put up in the stand area

53. have a neatly organized pit area, very team/spectator friendly

54. HAVE A CLOCK! it helps a lot and make sure it's the right time

55. safety FIRST

and i can think of more but I'll leave some room for others

56. Never be afraid to ask for a spare part even if your sure no one will have it.
