If you choose to go to an off-season competition (which you should), you should definitely go over a design review. I believe a quick search on CD Media will lead you a presentation template Cyber Blue 234 uses for their design review. You can always take the option of applying lessons learned over the season into improvements for this year's robot if you go to an offseason competition, or just take concepts you learned and apply them for prepartaion for 2013.

Seriously though, go to offseason events. We always go to one, and we want to make it back to Duel on the Delaware, go to Beantown Blitz, and check out IRI in addition to R3. We wre spoiled in the northeast with offseason events but it's a great thing to do. It's a relaxed atmosphere and a chance to talk to other teams without any stress involved. Definitely a different pace for the drive team and leadership.
