Competition Readiness
Yeah, robotic design workshops are good... but...

New teams also need to be mentored on what to expect at a competition, with regard to match readiness, scouting, and marketing.

There are many new teams who are suprised by the preparation needed in order to compete at a FIRST competition. Also, they are suprised by the pressure of the match situation. I've seen many teams who appear to be "deer in the headlights" out there.

I had the honor of conducting a workshop session with Brian Beatty for the Indiana teams last month, and it was a very well-received session.
