Internal Competition?

[MrMARVINMan]

Hi everyone!

This is someone trying to find something for their team to do during the off-season. Obviously, there are off-season events and all that, but I also want to create something to teach new students what build season will be like and help them develop the skills to do well during that portion of the season. After a while of thinking, I finally decided to create an "Internal Competition" (IC) for my team. This is a game designed by students to be played during the off-season by other students. The Internal Competition splits the regular team and its new members into two sub-teams: Red and Blue. These two teams would compete in three ways: First, an actual game played on a modified Recycle Rush field. Second, a competition between robot reveal videos. Third, a competition between "Funding Presentations" similar to a Chairman's presentation. I have some positive feedback from my team about doing this over the summer, but I was wondering what other teams would think about this. Would it take up too much time during the off-season? Would it be too expensive? Are there better ways to train new students?
