Re: Need some advice: Annual down times

Your team may want to consider starting an FTC team (or a few of them, depending on your team size)

This is what our team does during the fall to prepare rookies for FRC. The rookies learn basic concepts of teamwork and problem solving skills, as well as a taste of what the competition environment is like with gracious professionalism. The FTC season spans from around September to November, so it keeps our team busy.

Just something to consider.

Actually, the FTC season starts in September with competitions in November through March (and beyond if your team qualifies for St Louis). So, depending on your area, your FTC team could be finished by January or still be competing during the FRC build season.
