If you're stuck on robot, there is a guided mission for EV3 and Spike prime. It shows you how to solve one mission, that's a good place to start. https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__bit.ly_3Al8w2tI&d=DwIFaQ&c=eLbWYnpnzycBCgmb7vCI4uqNEB9RSjOdn_5nBEmmeq0&r=k6Oa5GxfBPFMgGjb2r5QIoEOeBZs9xbNIpA0kLw_kFQ&m=ps7CMn78y0N-kNimcHXQHY4f7lr8t2rsSbyNtRz7F8Y&s=DlG_jEZbpkMN3cVvGXNM_98u9QvsqKlHWlCZ6Z-4Rrg&e= guess one piece of advice I would always pass along to a new coach would be, your team is never going to be "ready." Go to competition anyway, the kids will have a fantastic time.In your first season less is more, keep it simple, and ask for help.

As a first-time coach, I'm hoping to get as much good advice as possible before setting off on this robotics adventure. What do you wish you knew before you started your team? Any and all advice is appreciated! Also, a special shout out to Rangam and the once-mighty Thunder Robots for their amazing generosity not only with equipment but a whole lot of FLL wisdom too.
