We host a local kickoff in our school's Auditorium, and we watch the Game Release as a group.

After watching the release and everyone has the Game Manual unlocked, we move out and break into small groups to discuss our thoughtson the game, with each group consisting of a mix of students in each grade. Generally we dismiss students to head home around 2:30 PM, so that they can think about it independently and mull over their ideas.

Giving people the night to think over their own ideas before doing a team-wide discussion lets them think about what THEY want the robot to do, and it often leads to innovative ideas for discussions the next day.
