Everyone on our team will meet during kickoff at school to watch it in the auditorium. After kickoff, we have a short lunch break, then start the design meeting. The entirety of the manual (game & robot) is read out, with some field specs depending on relevancy.

Once everyone is fully aware of the goal of the game, we decide what we want to do and then we start throwing out ideas. The next day, a core group of the team meets to continue the design process, and on the first meeting day, we begin prototyping different ideas. From there on, the most effective prototypes become our robot.
