Re: We need a second build season

The FIRST sponsored Green Machine Competition or FIRST fuel cell rather; was basically a second build season for us. It started right before FRC build season and even overlapped into the first couple weeks. It was a lot to handle in addition to training all of your recruits to get them ready for build.

when you use offseason to do things like (just to name a few):
-introducing freshmen to VEX
-teaching recruits how to machine and such
-working on/finishing up offseason projects
-working on scheduling and setting dates
-fundraising
-volunteer work


It would be quite a challenge to have a second batch of 6 weeks of build. Of course i get that everyone would love a challenge to try to do it all; but honestly, thats a lot you're going to have less valuable time for.
