We participate in town parades towards late spring. Last year, our robot drove around firing orbit balls at families on blankets and lawn chairs. After-wards, a good 15 or so toddlers came up with jaw-dropped faces; it was truly inspiring.
We also have town days where the town shows off a bunch of stuff from the area, a Tae Kwon Do area, a clown area, etc. We go there and show towns our robot and spread the interest of FIRST. These happen in late June / Early July, I think.
