This paper presents some ofthe knowledge that rookie teams return to the FIRST community.MethodologyFive rookie teams from the 2016 season willingly provided their lessons learned for thispaper. (See Appendix.) The teams were all from North Carolina and had submitted thelessons learned at the end of the season as fulfillment of the requirements for the ArgosyFoundation Rookie Grant. The author had hypothesized that the lessons learned wouldbe focused more on learning mechanical aspects; such as for each wheel, one must ordera wheel hub which can be a ½” hex, a 3/8

Strategies that are grounded intheories of engagement therefore need to be devised. Active learning is one such strategy. Ifproperly designed, active learning environments promotes engagement in all the three dimensions(behavioral, cognitive and emotional) resulting in reducing absenteeism, boosting cooperativelearning skills, and improving academic performance [12].

However, this term is significant for Ultra-Rapid PSA owing to its morerapid adsorption rate and the superior properties of the adsorbent material, such as smalleradsorbent particle size, the monolith structure of the adsorption bed, and the active binder thatholds the small adsorbent particles together. For Ultra-Rapid PSA, the absorption term is soimportant that its presence in the total mass balance is essential. The magnitude of the group N3indicates that the adsorption equilibrium can be described by a simple linear relationship for bothconventional as well as Ultra-Rapid PSA.This example indicates the power of scaling analysis as a systematic method for
