Re: Breaking the Three-Day Bias
What you can do is make up a sample "calendar/schedule" that a team would follow throughout the year.
Starting in August/September with first meetings of the school year where you talk about organizing the team into subsections .. holding and attending workshops ... pr .. fundraising .. mentoring FLL teams .. deciding which events to attend ... and off season events from the previous game .. in this section (for those attending the Toronto Kickoff ...) you can include your preparation for the BetaBot Challenge .. or other challenges your kickoff site may hold.
Then go to January/February where you obviously have build season, but on top of that there is more fundraising and a lot of pr going on in preparation for the actual event.
Then the events all throughout March and April. and then Nationals. But here, you can also say how you use the events to showcase your robot to prospective sponsors.
Then the off season events through the summer and further fundraising and publicity ...If you do workshops or anything else in the summer, that would fit in here ...
Hope this helps.
