Re: How does your team spend the Kickoff afternoon?

We have a small group that attends the Local Kickoff, after the Kickoff that group inventories the KOP. In the afternoon the whole team has a kind of a Kickoff Party. We watch the recorded Kickoff and have pizza and stuff. After that we go over the game and identify the main points and might look at some basic strategy. The mentors and senior students have a rule that we don't want to see any robot designs the day of Kickoff. In the first week of Build we go through the game and decide on which tasks we want to try for. We then do PEW analysis on different designs for the robot and its devices to find which one would be best for us to do.
