Re: Brainstorm - The Blue Alliance v4
Greg-
As to how TBA is used to introduce people to first:
At the start of each new fall semester, Clarkson tries to recruit new college students via the activities fair, followed by a more formal introductory meeting. At this meeting we always start with a more in-depth explanation which is best done by showing match videos from various years, pictures of truly excellent robots, and the game introduction videos.
Suggestions:
1) I think it'd be useful to have a simple page associated with each year that archives the game intro video, with a simple description of the game (scoring methods, penalties, etc..) as well as the teams/people who won NATIONAL recognition (nat'l chairmans, nat'l woodie flowers, Overall Winners, Overall Runner-ups, nat'l autodesk, nat'l safety vid, etc...)
2) I know that this suggestion is way out there seeing as all of you have your own careers/schooling to think about. But I would LOVE to see the return of TBA to the kickoff event. For alot of teams, the way TBA members demonstrated how the game elements behaved, how big they were, descriptions of texture, etc... were unbelievabley helpful.
Thanks!
