We love rookie teams.....
There are NO stupid questions about any topic.
At the 2005 championship, our team ran an "all-rookie" meet & greet event, which was a lot of fun and a big success. We plan to do this again, so tell your mentors that we will have all sorts of info for rookie teams if you make it to the championships. We'll also do all-rookie meet & greets at the Finger lakes regional as well as Boston regionals where we'll be. Sorry we can't be at more regional events
Our own furum has a section for rookie questions at:
http://penfieldrobotics.com/forum/index.php?board=2.0
but it's probably just as valuable to set-up a rookie-only sub-forum on this chiefdelphi site. If Brandon does set-up a sub-forum, then our team (Team 1511 - RollingThunder) will pay special attentionto answering rookie questions.
