This event is intended to help new teams and rebuilding teams (i.e., veteran teams with many rookie members) to get off to a great start. New folks can have their many questions answered whether about the FTCNJ season or creating a reliably operational robot. Teams are encouraged to bring their very basic bot or their kit of parts to the event. All are focused on a successful and pain-free start up. Plenty of help, some interactive forums and a CenterStage field will all be there.
 
Helpful veteran teams are also very welcome but remember that the emphasis and priority if helping the new folks. That would be your mission for the day.
