Re: Resources for Starting a FIRST Team?
The best suggestion I have is to make contact with an established team somewhere nearby, either through CD, their website, or TIMS (if the team has elected to publish their information--or at least I remember the option being there the 1.618 times I've looked at TIMS). Getting them connected with someone in the neighborhood will go a long way towards helping some of the required parties (administrators, teachers, sponsors, etc.) understand what they're trying to do, both through programs and just having a robot there to let them realize the scale of things.

Being professional means doing things right. Being gracious means doing the right thing. They complement each other perfectly. But I think we should remember to use GP as a guide for our own behavior, not as a yardstick to measure others' shortcomings. - Alan Anderson [more]
