Off Seasons are the PERFECT way to get anyone hooked on FIRST. When FURY competed at Duel on the Delaware, we brought a couple kids from our FLL team along with us. They spent the a lot of time going around the pits talking to other teams and playing with old robots, as well as cheering in the stands. I think they enjoyed it more than the high school kids
. After going to the competition they were a lot more inspired to work and they understood the values of FIRST.
