Re: [OCCRA]: FIRST
I think OCCRA is the best training possible for a team to transition into FIRST, because it gives all the students hands-on experience with motors, electronics, basic machining, strategy, and design. Honestly, I can see the transition of all of our freshmen and new members throughout the course of the season. They develop so many cooperative skills and design tactics that I could not imagine trying to teach without building a robot.
(Cut Time for a big THANK YOU to all of OCCRA!)
Keep in mind, The State of Michigan still has introductory grants availible to any new teams joining FIRST - enough to cover basic registration and possibly a 2nd regional if wanted.
