Re: Best Pre-Season Meeting Ideas

In previous years, our team has always done a combination of:
-Vex style competition with sister teams including mini build season (about 6-8 weeks 2 days per week)
-Mock kickoff with a previous year's game with brainstorming,
-1 meeting where we did activities to build teamwork
-Engineering 101 classes presented by our CAT mentors (mechanical, electrical, controls)
-Safety 101 including machines test (must pass before a student may use machines)

I hope this helps, good luck prepping for next season!
