PreRookies, Mentoring and the future of FIRST

[Martinez]

At Rah Cha Cha Ruckus, there were I think two prerookie teams competing, by borrowing Robots from other teams. Honestly, I think its a great idea and excellent way to spread FIRST. People have to know FIRST even exists before they can start thinking about creating a team. I know a small group of people in the Binghamton area who together I like to think of us as a PreRookie team. No way could we compete this year, but we are putting together a business proposal to Lockheed. All goes well and you'll see us in 07.

Best way to get the word out for FIRST is Demo, Demo, Demo. There's no reason anyone in your community shouldn't know what you fokes are doing.
