How does a rookie team get started?
A rookie team usually gets started by a mentoring effort through people who have had previous experience with the FIRST programs. If a person sees enough interest in an area, he/she may start a team in conjunction with a high school. Many teams have team mentors (other teams that have had previous experience and want to help other teams start up). Much more information on starting a FIRST team is available at www.usfirst.org.
