Hi Pavan,
My old team used to do things this way:
before kickoff:
- Get everyone up to date on basic concepts (4wd, 2wd, omni, mecanum, 6wd etc...).
- Prepare the teams make sure everyone knows their job.
- Prepare tools and materials.
In Israel, because of the time difference:
- Watch kickoff webcast at someone's house at evening/night... (around 20:00)
- Start Brainstorming Ideas!
next day:
- go to the official Israeli kickoff!
- get parts!
- build kitbot for the programming team to practice on!
*long exhale* wow that got me excited just writing that down!!!
I hope I don't get a heart attack at the kickoff!
