If anyone wanted anymore info about the Post Kick-off (PoKo) meeting that the 1st Scouting Alliance (FSA) and GO FIRST will be hosting here it is:
Following Kick-off we will be hosting a collaborative strategic design meeting to assist any interested team through their initial design work. The PoKo meeting will consist of 4 parts:
- Understanding the game, group discussion
- Understanding how the game is played, group activity (playing the game)
- Strategy breakout groups, small groups
- Component breakout groups, small groups
We will have one room set aside so that people can have space to "play" the game, we will do out best to make this space as realistic as possible but that has more to do with what FIRST creates than anything.
The idea is the more people you have thinking about an idea the more advanced in can become and the more likely the groups is at finding the most winning ways to play the game. Once we have determined how to play, and win, the game we will begin to draft concepts for different components that these bots will need, and seeing as we have a number of teams already attending the prototyping work will then be divided among the participants. As teams build and test their prototypes over the next week, all their data, files, pictures and videos will be shared with the group via online resources.
If anyone has any questions or comments or is interested in attending let us know at
