Re: The hype train departs...

We will be hosting our annual unofficial kickoff for the Big Island teams.

Since the official kickoff is on another island we decided a few years ago to start hosting these. A great way for us to help, inspiration is everything!

The original kickoff video is at 5:30am HST so we try to let as many as we can get the last bits of sleep in.. Though we all know the mentors were up watching it live .

Our event runs from 9am to 6pm

There will be the kickoff video with breakfast.
Manuals will be printed and distributed to all in attendance.
Then rules review and discussion afterwards there will be a game rules test.
Afterwards teams will rotate through various workshops including but not limited to:
Field construction, game analysis, programming, mechanical design, prototyping, human robot, drive practice with previous robots and much more.

Still finishing up the workshop setup, later today we have a long session to get ready with a team building sleep over. (no actual sleep will probably occur)

Looking forward to great season, good luck to all!

Aloha
