[ECDU]: ECDU Workshop

[Corey Balint]

Hey all!

Just to let you know we have made a Scouting/Strategy/ECDU Workshop in powerpoint, that we will now officially be showing at the NJIT Kickoff Event. It has about 20 pages of information on what ECDU is, who/what/when/where/how's on Strategy and Scouting and some other small tidbits about scouting. If anyone would like to use it for future help, for strategy or scouting or anything else, let us know and we will send a copy.

Also, if you arent in the ECDU but want to know more about it in person, attend our workshop, it will definitely help you out.

i am going over the first post on this forum and going to throw something down and we can put them together.

This is for any team's current or former drivers.

We are interested in making this Union to get all the drivers together so that they know each other and will be able to help each other out in times of need. We also just want to meet up and help make new friends across the eastern seaboard.
We also stand for the fair treatment of drivers among their respected teams...
We also will help break in new drivers and teach them some unwritten rules of the FIRST world.
Mainly like i said, we are about making friends and helping other teams.


I go to comp and don't have time to talk with the drivers. So this give the drivers a chance to talk about first or driving skills or anything. FIRST is great to meet new people from different place. I hope we can learn alot from each other and make the spirit of FIRST work with this union of drivers.

I know a lot of teams that dont like certain teams for the way their driver drives or they just may not like him. This is just a fact, even though people dont want to admit or accept it, it will always be there. I think that with this little union, teams will start getting past those petty quarrels, and start having more fun out their on the field, in the pits, and in the stands. By making friends with each other, no grudges will be held and everyone will be having fun. And instead of sitting there and pouting after a loss, they will start to cheer for them. I really do think, if more and more people start to join this, teams will start to forget about past problems and look forward to the great things they can accomplish together.

that is it so far.

As of now, well the actual Workshop plan was just to have team 25 do it, and then we introduced them to the idea of ECDU and now it has been expanded to you and Aroon. Past that, it will be the team 25 head scout, Neil Parikh, Bharat and I. I think im forgetting someone, ill let you know if i remember.
