1923 attends the local kickoff hosted by our gracious neighbors, 1403. This year, we will be sending one mentor to Manchester. After kickoff, the team meets back at the school, gets the kits together (inventory later, AFTER we get a design-- this makes it so we're not distracted by the shiny robot parts, and forces the team to FINALIZE on a basic design before that date we need to tell FIRST if we're missing something- finalizing can be a problem for us).
Back at the school, we strategize. What's the best, most reliable scoring method? Defense methods? What can WE as a team accomplish? (we have very limited resources, and by "very limited", I mean a classroom, hand tools, and denied access to the school's shop.) ...and all that jazz. This can go late into saturday, and we start fresh on monday with heads full of ideas and notebooks full of designs to consider.
All this talk of kickoff is getting me SUPER PSYCHED!
