Training Rookies...

Thanks everyone for the responses, they're very helpful.

In response to Alex S. : Thanks for the welcome .
Also Although I was on a FTC Team (A community based one that ran for only last year - <Point of Pride> and was on the winning alliance in Atlanta </PoP>), that team shut down this year due to lack of students and it was not related to the school where I will be doing FRC, so although they have an FTC team as well, I was never on it. For reference, their team number is 1482.

Thanks Again,

Lemiant

-do nothing but sleep for the week before build season (you won't during)
-figure out what you want to do, find a person who does it well, and shadow them. I did this, and learned LabVIEW in its (almost) entirety in two weeks
-prepare for the worst: what can go wrong will, and they prevent you from using duct tape on the robot


best of luck to you

I would say you are in good hands. Your team has quite a bit of FRC experience, and plenty of spirit from what I remember of my last Greater Toronto Regional.

I know how you feel about losing your former team, its been a rough ride for many teams lately, especially those outside Ontario. Mine disappeared after my senior year too, even if we were starting to look promising.

Good luck, and wear your cowboy hat with pride (if 1482 still wears em').

Note: I am currently working under the assumption that you mean GM sponsored 1482 from Calgary, otherwise this post sounds kinda random.
