How does your team spend the Kickoff afternoon?

[David Hoff]

Cyber Blue makes it mandatory for all team members to attend the kickoff broadcast at IUPUI. Immediately after kickoff we meet there and go over the game rules, how to score, and anything else that pertains to the game. This helps ensure that everyone on the team is 100 percent clear on all aspects of the game and that we are all on the same page. We won't meet again until Sunday afternoon when the real fun begins. At this meeting we discuss strategy. Do we want to play defense, do we want to score this way or that way. Those sort of things. At this meeting this is no talk about how the robot will do it, just what the robot will do. We will try to have a strategey finalized within that day or the next and then start figuring out how a robot can do it.
