Bump, an hour and a half in and I've learned a ton!

Looks like my Wednesday slot for the rest of these sessions are filled.

The first seminar was amazing! *Have to leave a bit early due to school*

I was especially touched when someone asked my question for me after Karthik accidentally (I hope so at least :yikes: ) skipped my question!

Re: Team 1114: Simbot Seminar Series
 

Great first seminar

Strategic Design section is great - look forward to next week.

Go Mets in 2015 (wait until next year!).

Re: Team 1114: Simbot Seminar Series
 

Thanks for these, watched the first one last night....can't wait for Strategic Design.....have been implementing your ideas with our team for the past couple seasons...

Re: Team 1114: Simbot Seminar Series
 

The Simbots and their dedication to further the competition level of this program are remarkable. The fact that Karthik makes himself available till 11 PM EST to answer questions after the presentation, is just one example of this. THANK YOU SIMBOTS.

FIRST gives everyone lots of practice in getting used to late nights.:p

Re: Team 1114: Simbot Seminar Series
 

A seminar on business plans and strategy for marketing would be awesome! We're really looking forward to improving this part of our team, and we'd love to have something to watch as a guide for that. :)

I have used the 1114 strategy presentation for presenting strategic design approach for lots of teams in Michigan. It is a great packet to run through once you have watched the seminar and give relevant examples/ exercises.

Last week, I was working with a team, and we went through the presenation and then watched some previous years game footage. Using the techniques described.

We watched 2003 and 2008. Interestingly, after going through some quick brainstorming and possible ways of executing the game, the kids were able to come up with strategies similar to what did very well those years.

2003 is an especially interesting one to do the exercise on. It has incredibly high scoring potential, and a possible "choke hold" scenario, though this scenario would be incredibly difficlut to execute.
