We also have mostly new drive teams at our off season events, but they are usually people who might be driving in the upcoming season. Excluding the unlikely scenario that a new member would be under consideration for the drive team, very few of our new members get to drive the robot or work on it in the pit (even if they are in the pit with us). Even for those who are driving or in the pit, they often see the commotion and stress of competitions, not the fun team building experiences of build season. This event would allow new members to see both how the robots work, and how being on a robotics team can be tons of fun.

We are in MAR, so we will be at Springside Chestnut Hill and Westtown (and then MARCMP at Lehigh and then St. Louis). Sadly we don't have the funds or resources to make it to any nearby regionals, otherwise we would likely see you at the Greater Pittsburgh Regional.
