Re: The long stretch between seasons.....
 

Offseason? Yes... unfortunately there is. My team is definately not overwhelmed. We do have several projects lined up. Some fundraising. Carwash, Bridies for Charity, Adopt-A-Highway, Learning programming using Robovation robot, Making a totally new game and seperating team into 2 groups and use Robovation bots to totally design and program 2 robots to compete in said game. Unfortunately my team does not want to start new teams. I do, on the other hand, want to start a couple of Vex teams. We are also helping out the local FLL teams that we did not know were he in the QCA. We formed a Quad Cities FIRST Alliance w/ FLL teams. Form new FLL teams. I would like to get a new FRC team in Dubuque, IA. Planned on having a class using Robovation (my idea) but realized it was unrealistic at this point (not my idea of course). Recruit new schools and students. New sponsors. Get existing sponsors to stay.

Personal goals;
Graduate, enroll in local community college, go to IRI (?), purchase Vex kit, start Vex team, get more schools involved in FIRST (especially Moline), catch up on sleep, fix laptop (again), teach 3DSMax to rookies, I'll think of more.

Long..... Stretch.... I'm already feeling slight effects (urges to build crazy tetra grabbers). However, the main drive traing uy on our team is leading a group over the summer to build a prototype drive base. This will allow the many freshman (i am one) to learn the design phase of building a drive base, as well as the actual practicality of certain stages of the process. As well as preperation/learning for next year, our team is going to do far too many demos for all of our sponsors, and the local junior high schools that feed into our high school.

Hmm, in order of preference: Sleep, play tennis, go outdoors (woo!), fundraise fundraise fundraise, do homework, re-organize tiny pieces of hardware in robotics room...

Re: The long stretch between seasons.....
 

i do anything of whatever we are doing in robotics. and other than robotics i will keep myself occupied with sports and gymnastics

Re: The long stretch between seasons.....
 

As our Mentor/Teacher David Fava would say. "There is no offseason in FIRST. We have already finished the 05 season, now we start the 06 season."
