Re: What to do in October
Until Kickoff (Sept/Oct/Nov/Dec) -
-OCCRA built/competition season (mostly upperclassmen)
-VRC built season - Early competitions (mostly underclassmen)
-Sponsorship presentations - We have a team of sponsorship presenters which will be trained, practice, and present to potential and current sponsors. We also prepare business materials as part of this effort, including sponsorship packets and letters.
-Off-season prototyping - We have some new designs to design, build, and test, and they are very cool.
-Software prototyping/Beta Test - We had some software algorithms which we wanted to test in the off-season, and we will mix this in with 2012 beta testing (LabVIEW).
-Training of freshmen/new members - New members all go through a training course on operation of basic tools and safety (including the important hand tools, and the bandsaw, drill press, and sander). We also train students in use of the manual mill and lathe if they are interested, and we occasionally have a student welder in training.
