It really is amazing what one season and one regional can do to a new kid on a team. It really lets them know what it’s all about and gives them a chance to see just how big the FIRST world really is.
We try to instill this feeling from day one by showing some videos of old competitions and by keeping “spirit” high. We encourage kids to contact other teams and try to bring them along if we ever have to stop by another team to ask for help or see if they need any.
