Re: Robotics Training Online Course Idea

I absolutely love this idea! I agree it doesn't have to be mandatory--different teams have different styles, and they have to decide what works best for them. But to have this available as a resource would be amazing.

Our sophomore team put together presentations at the beginning of the year with some fundamentals about FIRST teams which new students would want to know about (it's a little disorienting to newbies to hear team numbers and have no idea what those numbers mean) and different functions of different robots, and to help identify basic tools for students who'd had no exposure to this. Then they learned from other teams, and had informal CAD training sessions, etc. It really helped acquaint newcomers with the basics of what to expect from the season, and how they could be hands-on involved right away. We were thinking something like this would be nice for rookie teams--we would have loved that in our first year.

If you start this anytime soon, please let us know right away! I'm thinking it might be nice to show some of the videos/presentations at our Michigan ROBO-CON event this summer.
