Thanks everyone! So encouraging. One of the problems I've had is not
knowing what the 'season' is. When do people get teams together, plan,
etc? When do challenges come out and how do you know how to be prepared
for the challenges?
I'd be happy to here more about the possible used NXT kits.
I'd thought about starting a team last fall and realized I just missed the
competition time, and besides that we wouldn't have had training time to be
ready for the competition. I didn't find this email list till yesterday.
I have a feeling that it's going to make the difference between feeling
like I'll be making everything up as I go along (with the possibility of
being all wrong) and everyone feeling successful.
Cheers!
Jeff
