I agree with the saying of "what off season". I would have to say build season, because it's where the magic happens. I loved it. Competitions are a close second.


Come on guys you know nothing beats waking up in the middle of the night during build season with ideas that need to written down. Also you gotta love the pizza/dew diet.

That anxious, sense of exploration feeling I get when i start programming a newly built robot during build season

In general, I'd say learning new stuff is the best part. I was shocked at how much I didn't know about engineering/building stuff at the onset of the season.

What I actually meant was despite our best efforts, the core of our team works year round anyway. "What offseason", as in, what do you mean? Who takes time off?

For now, I like the offseason. I used to like build/competition seasons until they turned into 4 months of non-stop work (or it seemed to). Honestly, it was nice when the build season was 45 days .

Plus there's plenty of time to experiment in the offseason. For example, I just made this fantastic ratatouille-like dish which is pretty durn good for lunch. My fiancee and I even made fish tacos this last weekend that were better than any we've had at restaurants.
