Re: Demos--What do you do?
We have all sorts of demos for all sorts of different crowds. Most of our demos are for outreach to the community. For instance, our last one was at our town festival, where we had a booth. In one half of the booth we set up display boards with pictures and whatnot, had our robot, and a jar for donations, and wed talk about FIRST and Team 116. The other half we made a demo vex game which we ran, kind of like the Vex Pit challenge at the championship.
For smaller scale outreach events we dont bring the vex field, but we typically bring at least one display board, and our robot.
For when we talk to engineers and the like we typically explain the FIRST program, its effects on us, and the benefits of being a team. Same with when we talk to school board people. When we talk to students, children, or average joes, we usually end up explaining a bit more about the game and robot than the team itself, as they usually arnt as interested in that, they are just amazed by our bot. If they show interest in the FIRST program, then we explain it a bit more to them.
