Re: Showing school officals and business owners a regional

Indeed we have. One of the issues here is which day would be best to bring a sponsor. Does it matter? Would it be best to bring a potential sponsor on thursday for practice, friday for qualification, or saturday for the elimination? Also, which day you're on will partially determine what your team does in between matches (and consequently, what you're showing people). Most of the time, thursdays are spent on repairs and tweakings. Lucky teams can spend their fridays and saturdays perfecting their robots, or just leaving them alone.

A proper presentation would probably include an explanation of the rules, if they aren't familiar, an explanation of your robot, complete with expert opinions, a tour of the facilities, and some time spent in the stands watching some matches.
