More sketches.

More ideas.

Okay, since another thread was started earlier today that showed interest in the development of an exhibit dedicated to bringing FIRST to the public while we're in Atlanta, I went ahead and made another quick sketch of a larger, more involved pavilion-type structure.

The concept, again, is that the newcomers and visitors are welcomed into the folds of the FIRST family and, as senior team members mentor freshman, and veteran teams mentor rookie teams, the participants of FIRST will look on as the visitors learn what our program is all about.

The entrance and subsequent hallway surrounds the exhibit, traveling in a large 3/4 circle before entering into the center of the circular exhibit space. On the right side, alternating red and blue panels are peppered with photographs, text descriptions and quotes detailing the evolution of FIRST. These panels will act as a quick introduction to the history of our competition before the visitors are exposed to our present and their future.

The left side will be made of an acryllic-sheet wall that is entirely transparent. This acryllic will act as our "signing wall," as all of the event's participants will be asked to sign their name on the outside of this wall.

This, of course, is symbolic of the goal I stated earlier -- welcoming visitors by surrounding them with FIRST participants and teaching them as they walk along.

At the end of the hallway, they will turn a 180* corner to be greeted with the 2004 game. In this center exhibit space, there could be a robot on display (many teams build a practice robot, right?) and there will be video of matches and explanations showing how the game is played. Another idea might be to have a roaming video camera at the event that feeds directly to a monitor in this exhibit space. It'll tie the visitors into what's happening at that very moment. It might show teams cheering for their team, or fixing their robot, or sharing a part.

Upon exiting, visitors will find a podium and book. In this book, they can leave messages of support, their name, and maybe contact information.

Please, excuse the poor quality of this sketch and photograph. As always, feedback is appreciated.

FIRST Pavilion
