Re: Houston Mock Kickoff Oct 31st
The first two presentation sessions are in place.
Competition Success: Robot, Drive Team, and Scouting Management to Compete Consistently and Effectively.
Logan Farrell, Robonauts FRC#118
Synopsis: This talk will cover the 118 strategy for managing the Robot, Drive Team, Scouting, and strategy components of a competition to maintain consistent high level performance. Specifically, this will include driver selection and training prior to competitions, scouting system setup prior to the competition and how it is run at the competition, pre-match strategy and how information is passed, shared, and used, and finally, how the pit crew is selected and run during a competition to keep the robot performing consistently at peak capability.
Forming a 501(c)(3) charity for your robotics team
Tom Chorba, TaRDIS FRC#5416
Abstract: Forming an IRS approved charity can seem like a daunting task. However, it is actually very straightforward and a 10-step process will be outlined in the presentation. Donors can deduct contributions to charities on Federal tax forms and teams can avoid state sales taxes on purchases.
Tentatively we have pneumatics, Arduino programming, and safety presentations being added as well.
