Re: Question of the Week!!! (6/14/04)

At least for New England, I think it's at the right size for what we as a community want offseasons to generally function as.

What do they do now?
-Give teams a chance to use the robot again
-Test new drivers, functions, systems
-Meet new people, see new places

With offseasons utilizing those primary functions, an offseason every weekend is ideal, and I see no problem with it. Face it, running an offseason is a surefire way to get recognized in the community. As long as the awards still take it into account, and people still want to satisfy the other functions listed above, there will always be a heavy demand for running them.

Should they be every weekend? Absolutley. This weekend I had to go home, and because of it I missed out on going to Mayhem. Did I miss not going? Of course, Mayhem is a great competition that I love going to. But I also knew that Battlecry was the next weekend, and thus my FIRST fix wasn't too far off.
