Last year was also the first off-season competition for our team (IRI) and we had a blast. The people that went met and hung out with tons of other people and so many more people want to go this year. I think its a good continuation of the FIRST season, get new people in the pits, new drivers, new coaches, and you already have a robot
. There isnt the stress of qualifiying well for nats or anything like that, you just have fun and do what you can. I love it.
