[DFTF] Things a Rookie Team Should Do in the Fall...

[Phyrxes]

We are having our first fall meeting for new students this coming Saturday and we have been debating ideas back and forth.

Right now we are thinking of starting the day with the "new" students by using an "older but recent" game to introduce basic concepts, methods, and terminology before we go into the nuts and bolts of robot building.

A good number of our "new" students have a passing familiarity with vex as all middle schools in our school district have it but we have found students have some issues transitioning to FRC.

Hopefully this address our major issues of students understanding what is expected and what mentors or returning students are even talking about.

After we get them acclimated our major offseason projects are:
Rework the drive train (it is too heavy)
Rework the electronics board (no more rats nest of wires!)
Build a "ball shooter" from aim high since we started with rack and roll and we have never built one before.
