Re: Match Viewing

Yeah I thought it would be really fun for the kids to hang out with other robotics kids and get to know members outside of their grade. When I was a freshmen in 2007 I didn't know anything about robotics I had to teach myself mainly. So throughout the years I strived to make the freshmen experience a lot more fun so that more members would stay with the team farther down the road. But one thing I noticed is that a lot of our scouts are team members who don't always work with the robot. So I thought that if they watched a regional, with friends. Then a lot of the younger kids would know what to look for. It is a lot easier to show a WCD, Swerve, 8WD and so on in the field, so that they will learn the information about FRC when they need to scout.

Thanks for all your guys' thoughts, it's great to see how excited people can get about engineering.
