Re: Pre season prep suggestions?

The class I had forgotten above was a discussion on "what to expect at an FRC event (regional or champs)."

Tomorrow's classes include my "Drive system 2: speed and steering", and one of our top fund-raising students from last year speaking about getting sponsorships from small businesses. About half of our classes are taught by mentors (or a mentor working with a veteran student), and half solely by veteran students. We have the mentors who are not teaching a class shadow one of the four groups. They both help the discussions along when they get stuck, and usually learn something new.

I did my first "CD white paper" of my first three mini-classes this year. The first two were actually done with just a dry-erase board on an easel in our workshop, but I tried to capture the discussion items of the four sessions of each as well as the base content I covered, so it might take a bit longer to go through these as presentations than it did in actuality. (OBTW, a glove makes a decent white board eraser.)
