....Im in the same boat as Tom in relation to "Ive done more promos than I can remember".

One of 237's hallmarks is going to do promos for elementary school students. I have come to the conclusion that general speeches about the robot towards little kids as well as full grown adults can have the same outline, just different wording.

In 1999, we brought the puck and the floppies to most promos, and the games rough ideas would be outlined.

In 2000, we brought yellow & black balls as well as the center section of our balsa wood scale version of the field (to explain the troughs & the bar).

This year, I explained what FIRST was, how it is different from Battlebots, then another person described what the robot was made out of and what it did, and then described what you learn by being a part of a FIRST team. We only described the balls/goals, the "end zone", and the bridge.
