Pros...

Like any other school activity (sports, band, chorus, etc...) you need to practice. Drivers, HP, Coaches, and Pit Crew should work on skills and put their practice bot (if they have one) through the rigors of a "match" to see what problems you will come across come comp time. You may relize you need to add a chain tensioner once you get to the event.

You can also use this time to do a little extra fundraising, if not needed for this year then for next.

Don't forget teams should be having meetings to discuss travel for those who will be going to competition.

There isn't a whole heck of a lot to do with the time you might have (depending on when your first comp is) If you have a lot of time to kill rest or get out there and spread the word about FIRST.
