Re: Question of the Week [05-02-04]: The Very Merry Month of May
What do you do during the off-season?
What off-season? You mean there’s an off-season to FIRST??!! According to the Huskie Brigade, “it’s a year-round thing!” Seriously, our team does the following:
Team banquet – May
Appleton Flag Day Parade – June
Team party – July
IRI - July
OcTOBORfest – September (figure THAT date out!)
Super Science Sunday at the Children’s Museum of the Fox Cities - October
Playing and prototyping – Fall
Does your team attend any competitions?
Yup – IRI.
If they do, do you personally go for the competition, or to meet your friends from around the area?
Both. It’s an opportunity for other members of our team who have not been selected as driver/operator/human player to try their hand behind the glass. The mentors go only to chaperone – the students take the lead on EVERYTHING. And, it is an opportunity for both students and mentors to reconnect with old friends.
And finally, part three: do any of you do anything else robotics related that isn't an off-season competition?
See the list above. We will also be running summer robotics camps for elementary and middle school students beginning in the summer of 2005.
