Don explains this best.

Rather if your a freshman and play little role.. Ie non driver mechanic or anything hands on(not likely), you can mingle.

As everyone has said document mingle but most fun is to watch other games and learn about other robots. This can help your team by scouting and every competition is fun. Even if your game is playing there are exciting things offered everywhere.

1672 Mahwah Robo-Tbirds & 1676 Pascack PIoneers have a 'bond'. We had little downtime but some of our members found time to play duck duck goose and other things. It really depends on what you like to do.
