AAAAAARRRRRRGGGG!

In my ...8 years now I have worked with... 5 different teachers now. I have had 4 different assistant teachers in the past 4 years. It gets tought re-training new teachers every year.
The main key is that we have a very experienced base of students & some mentors that have been with the team since 2000. I don't think I could deal with this with a rookie team... a true rookie team.
Call on those around you & see if you can get some experienced mechanical parents to help with the build. See if you can get someone from school administration to help you with the fundraising & other stuff. You would be surprised to see how much help you can get it you ask.
