Question Why is FRC Kickoff when it is?
Hi

Being new to FIRST I was wondering why kickoff is annually the 1st weekend in January?

Is this because of how it fits into the school term?

Reading a number of posts about days lost to snow I was wondering why kickoff is in the middle of winter?

Can any of the older members please explain the history behind this?

Obviously the dates have to be set a couple years ahead to book regionals etc.
