The Off Season is the perfect time to familiarize your team with the control system. Team 2559, Normality Zero, usually wires up a test-bench so that our programming team can learn how to utilize various sensors and test out new concepts.

We usually wire our test-bench with great care and professionally as possible, doing so allows students to understand proper wiring techniques, along with good and safe practices.

Another thing you might be able to do is, as suggested above, build an off season robot. It doesn't even have to be able to perform any task, a simple drive train provides a valuable learning experience for new members. With newer students who have little, or very basic familiarity with FRC motors, electronics, wheels, etc. a basic drive train - equipped with encoders and gyros can provide a very cool experience.
