Re: How to keep new students entertained?

Challenge -> Design -> Build -> Play

That is the FRC modus operandi, and it's why "we" are all entertained. The sooner a student gets to experience all of these steps, the sooner they are "hooked". Off-season building (even a box on wheels), whether FRC or even FTC, Vex, or FLL, will let new students experience the payoff of their hardwork early, and inspiring them to continue further.
