Re: do you guys attend classes regularly during the time between kickoff and shipment
why don't you guys talk with your principal about this?
just tell them that you will do everything during the month after shipment,
this will mean that instead of 1.5 months of extreme stress, you'll have 2.5months of moderate stress, that will clear up more time for the robot, and I'm sure that with more time spent the quality of FIRST will go up, if the quality of this competition (which is already very high) goes up, so will it's popularity AND growth, after all, at the end of the day the goals of FIRST and of your schools are the same, if kids get a brake if they join FIRST, more of them will take interest in engineering and science, it works over here, I know that one of the MAIN reasons I joined robotics was because students who take this class appreciated and get a "break" when one is needed,
one of the school-system main goals is to "create" (if you will), productive-citizens, I don't see a program more suitable to enhance that goal then FIRST.
just my 2 cents =)
