Re: Off season

Imo, offseason is a time to connect with other teams and share information before the next season. For that reason, I hosted "CADathon" last winter, and summer sounds like a perfect time to host another one

Re: Off season

We will definitely be focusing a lot on outreach and funding. Because we have such little time to focus on those during the season, we feel it's important to do that now. I really hope to use this offseason to spread inspiration for FIRST to a lot of the younger kids in our area, to get more long term involvement from our community down the road. Most likely a couple offseason with the competition bot (just a couple improvements) as an attempt to teach underclassmen the ropes if they want to be on drive team in the future; and funding activities/looking for sponsors for next season.

Pretty busy and fun!
