NEMO (Non-Engineering Mentor Organization) put together this one-page (front and back) handout to help rookie teams. It can also be used as an agenda for discussions or workshops held at kick-offs or pre-season meetings.
NEMO ran out of room so is now working on "More Hints" Stay tuned!...

NEMO was set up as a forum through Chief Delphi in May 2004. It is open to ADULTS who help with all the non-engineering details of running a FIRST team.

FranchescaWow thank you a whole bunch! There's a team getting started in a high school relatively close to ours and I think that the guy who is working on starting the team will really appreciate this. I'll forward the message!
Thanks for all the good tips and for keeping in mind the rookie teams!

Can't wait for more.

Non-Engineering Mentors? Aren't all mentors at least partially concerned with SOME type of engineering/science...

I'd also like to extend great gratitude to FIRST NEMO for these whitepapers. Being on a rookie team is not easy, and starting a team is significantly more difficult. I'd especially like to thank Robomom007 and KathieK for all the help and advice they have given me thus far in my efforts to start a team at my school, and they continually are willing to lend a helping hand. Organizations like NEMO show the true spirit of FIRST, and I am grateful for all the help so far from them, and everyone else that have lent advice. I look forward to next 18 tips, and am very willing to accept help from anyone else wanting to lend it.
a big THANKS to all,
Barry B.

KathieKYou are very welcome from all of us who are part of NEMO. We recognized that FIRST teams share a lot of common themes and that a lot of us are dealing with the non-engineering aspects such as travel, food, team spirit, team organization, chairman's award submission, to name just a few! Cheryl, Jenny and I were PMing through CD alomst daily and realized that we needed a forum for other like us who may not be touching the robot in any way, but who are dealing with critical issues that may a team function well. We've been able to share great ideas and welcome any other NEMOs like us to PM us and we'll be glad to get you hooked up!
