First, we go to BAE to watch a telecast of the kick off, then we go back to FIRST Base (our meeting place, the school has no room) and eat lunch while tossing around ideas.

Then we split into basically two groups. The first, GOD Squad (Governing, Objectives, Driving) frantically memorizes the BIG BOOK. The rest is the brainstorming team, they go over the basics and think of what best ways to approach the game.

Then we write down on a huge piece of paper what functions our robot could perform, and later slim down the list according to the best strategy to win the game the GOD Squad came up with during the memorization process.

It' s a crazy process: organized on paper, frantic in action, and constantly changing.
