 The true beauty is, no matter what the game (Yes, even 2001), we spend these 6 weeks going crazy with design strategy, and trying to figure out a way to work the plot twists that the GDC throws at us...and its a blast. - Andy Grady [more] |

We do a couple of off-season comps, plus an off-season league called OCCRA. It's a local league in Oakland County, with about 30 teams and 5 competitions. It's like a mini-FIRST, and every team builds a new robot for a new, unique game. The robots are also entirely student designed and built. It's a great idea, and we have tons of fun doing it. If anyone likes this idea, there are some wonderful people here (Mike McIntyre and Mike Martus) who I'm sure could tell you a bit more about this.
Other than that, we do demos of our robots, raise money, and have parties and other "team bonding experiences." We try our best to monopolize the lives of our team for the whole year, not just during the FIRST season
