Re: Build Season Plan - Weeks 1 & 2

I'm hoping this year we can start off strong, so my question put simply is:

What does your team do on kickoff day, and weeks one and two?


Thank You!
Funny, we did the exact same thing and had some similar issues. I was actually going to write out a very long post about the "good, bad, and ugly" of my experiences as an FTC mentor. We met only once a week for the first 8 weeks or so, so we basically spent the first 2 weeks deciding exactly what we wanted the robot to do. Week 3 was sketching ideas, and the rest was prototyping/building.
