Re: How does your team handle season wrap-up?

For 2175, we:
-Make a video? Yes - sometimes we spend a little too much time on this and not enough time on our robot...
-Have a banquet/picnic/event? Yes, we usually have it in the Great Hall of our school, with slideshows, videos, music, food, etc.
-Give awards to team members? Yes, we hand out certificates much similar to Maldridge422's team. We also recognize seniors and mentors for their work.
-Prep for off-season competitions? Our season never ends, last year, we had our wrap up banquet on the Saturday of Championships (we didn't make it down). This year, since we made it to Championships and the Minnesota State Championships, and we applied to IRI, the work never stops...
-Continue to work on the robot? Yes, we have to, an unofficial motto of our team is: "If its not broken, fix it"
-Do meetings continue, or do you take a break? No. Its robots all the time. When we are not working in the shop we are planing demos or fundraising. Its a full time job...
