Re: What Do You Wish You Would Have Known Your Rookie Year?

1. If you are stuck doing what you consider a meaningless job, like scouting, don't complain. Always do things to the best of your ability, doing this will give them meaning.

2. If you aren't enjoying yourself (safely and responsibly) you probably are doing something wrong. This does not mean don't do your work. It means enjoy your work (see above)

3. Coopertition. FIRST is not about beating your opponent. It is about competing like crazy and then collaborating like crazy.

4. Bad things happen, if your robot breaks it breaks, don't get angry. Try your best to fix it.

5. Ask for help. (not just for rookies)

6. We are all equal. Yeah there are some smart people in FIRST. Don't be intimidated.

7. Just because you are in 35th place out of 35 teams do not get discouraged. You are competing against teams that have been doing this longer than you.

8. There will be no water game. Game hints from Dave Lavery can be ignored. Anything else I advise you to listen to. (If for no other reason than you need a good chuckle)

By the way, veteran teams don't know it all. FIRST changes every year and we all just hope we are right.
