Pre Season

[ABreyen]

Hey!
I was wondering what other teams do during their pre-season. We meet as a team from mid October to Kickoff (Sometime in december-january). We have to do the obvious paperwork, bla bla bla, but we never have any huge things for the pre-season.

This year, we are going to be creating a "BoxBot", basically a robot, fully programmable, etc., with the wheels, pneumatics etc. in a box that can be programmed. This would teach the new students how it works, and the programmers can actually program something.

We also are planning on taking apart our old robot, but then putting it back together. We wouldnt be going to any competitions with it, but just the learning aspect.

What do other teams do in pre-season?
