How many rookies do you have on your team?

[edit]

lemme rephrase that

Our team even though it has been a long time since it has been a rookie team acts like a rookie team...

We have a rookie advisor, our main mentor is not actually main because he has some important thing going on in his job this year, and haven't been showing up as often as last year.... no seniors this year beacuse all the seniors have left... we also have two new mentors, our work area has been cut down in half... sigh.. it is a real mess this year XD

and our team is mostly made up of rookies, except for me and a couple few. I'm still a newbie because this is my second year.. T_T help me!!!!

Well lets see, about 20.

Coincidentally, there happen to be a total of 20 on our team. Go figure

we at 191 have about 10 newbies this year 6-7 are working in the electronics area ( one of those is me )and the rest are split between mechs and drives

We have about 13 people on the team, 9 of which are rookies.

About half of our about 9 consistent members are rookies. Considering....we have built the robot just debugging , the freshmen are bound to stay (that's good they are the future of the team), everyone knows most of the basics now, scouting sheet is complete, and buttons are being made... I'd say the rookies (and veterans) did a terrific job.

On our team rookies, first year members despite actual grade, are expected to teach a skill as they learn it. And they certainly stepped up to the plate teaching me skills I didn't know (ex. basic pneumatics connections.)

They do all the jobs that any veteran would do as soon as they are able. woot!

[jonathan_powers]

we have 15 members total 3 2 are second years then me the one and only senior but we have alought of talent and its good to be on top except for all the blame and you should know better speaches

[Mandi_|<o>|]

I think we have more than we need too=P
We have about 14 rookies, and 12 students that already joined FIRST.
At the season they use to learn, but, they quickly are able to be what we call slaves, thay clean up the room, buy food, get something here, there...lol
We work with this number because a lot of then give up during the year=(

bye

We are an all rookie team, and according to one of our mentors, we're doing better than his old team. This leads me to wonder why people dislike rookies. Our entire team is rookie, and we're doing great.

All of our team members are rookies except 3 seniors.

Last year the team was composed of nearly all seniors, and they were really worried about the team continuing. Ya know what they did? They invited a whole bunch of freshmen high schoolers to go with them to a competition in Chicago to see what everyone was working so hard for.

Lets just say this idea worked! Nearly all the rookies on the team this year either went on that trip or heard about it from those who did go and got interested.

I was one of those freshmen last year, and I was so hooked. I found myself in the very heart of FIRST: the teamwork, the excitement, the incredible engineering, and all that jazz! I couldn't wait until I could be a part of this program, and I'm sure the other rookies that went feel the same.

we have 15 rookies on the team, probably more but it's hard for me to remember all...so there's about 18 kids on the team that aren't rookies

[aksimhal]

4 out of the 6 members on 1123 are rookies!
What is your average team size?

[sheltie234]

We have about 11 frosh this year and about 5 new people (from other classes). We also have two exchange students on our team too- one from Vietnam and one from Lebanon!

Rookies Rule!

We had 15 student newbies and 3 adult newbies. Now it's 11 student newbies and 2 adult newbies.
2 newbies are on my animation team.
1 newbie is are only promotions team member.
2 of our student and one of our adult newbies are on drives (and one is the backup human player)
1 of our student newbies is on Mechanisms
5 of our student and the other new adult mentor is on electrical ( AKA Sparkies) and one of the students is also the human player.
New blood is good for the team.
