Re: How does your team spend the Kickoff afternoon?

67 usually attends the local kickoff, at Novi HS (home to team 503). Afterward, individuals who wish to attend workshops do so. Generally, we take the weekend to digest the game and individually come up with what we think about the game. Then we reconvene on Monday and Tuesday to discuss the following subjects:
  • Breakdown what other teams will be doing during a match.
  • Decide, based on those results, what we want our robot to accomplish.
  • Sketching on an overhead projector and taking suggestions from anyone on the team, come up with the basic mechanisms to allow our robot to do what we want it to.
