Re: Offseasons as your Regular Season?
How would the FIRST goals and mission be impacted within these teams by the distancing of the teams from the official events and the program, itself?
What would be in place to help the group or the team maintain those goals -or- would the reason for entering only off-seasons be solely for the robot competition and the fun of building something?
The participants who chose only to participate in off-seasons would be stepping away from the FIRST program. As we see in the current off-seasons, rules are modified and changed. The people who participate in those events would experience many different events with lots of variations.
At what point do those participants decide that rules are made to be changed? It becomes a philosophical discussion very quickly.
Interesting thread.
