The rotation is just a template, each community needs to custom to their need and figure out where in the process they want to start implementation.
The purpose of the summer camp is to teach the volunteers about robotics so they can teach the students and raise money for robotics. Teams can raise $1000 to $3000 by holding summer camps.
The system is not perfect and it is in different levels of implementation in twelve communities. We have been implementing it since 92'. The goal is to have sustainable learning communities
We are having a cardboard robot contest in Missouri this saturday, with cash prizes raised for the robotics club:
