Thumbs up Off-Season
MYself, I have only gone to one off-season competition, but I loved it. I joined the team in September, and just a week after I joined, we went up to Flint to participate in a comp at Kettering University. It was an amazing experience, and energized me to keep going throughout the OCCRA and FIRST seasons (OCCRA is another local "off-season" league). It was exciting to experience a little slice of FIRST before the real "work" of the year comes into play. Knowing what lay in the future, I felt compelled to stick through everything, while some new teammates left as the workload increased. I just feel off season comps give you a preview of what to wait for- what you really are working for in the end.
