Re: What does your team do for the kick off?

We watch it at the school, and when it's over, the majority go home. A few stay to start working on the playing field and some people stay to discuss it and plan the next day's Stubot. Stubot is where the students act out the game as though they are the robots. The first round or two of Stubot they are allowed to choose on their own what type of a robot they are. But then they are told what their robots can and cannot do (some are even made to not function for the whole round). Stubot is an amazing amount of fun and I always get some great, silly pictures, but the best thing is that it gives everyone a better unerstanding of the game. And it starts them thinking about design, what they would like to see the robot do.
