How does your team spend the Kickoff afternoon?

Team 228 has traditionally held a pot luck supper on Saturday night, and we do some brainstorming and game analysis over the meal. After last year, (anyone who went to NH knows that it was another snowy Kickoff) we've decided to hold our dinner on Sunday this year. Last year, the 2.5 hour return trip turned into a 3.5 hour trip, and our Bengineer waited even longer to leave after Kickoff and had a tough time making it home in time for the supper. At least this way, everyone will have Saturday night to think about the game before our meeting.

Also, a BIG Thanks to KathieK and our friends at RAGE for hosting a Kickoff site so our team members that aren't going to NH can join in on the fun!

Can't wait to see what teams dream up for this year's game!
Good Luck to Everyone.

(Billfred, how long do you think it will take Art04 to have a vex version of an '06 FRC bot? I see an awful lot of vex parts on the workbench!)

We send a few members off to Richmond to get the KOP, usually they are selected on the merits of their trunk. The rest of the team shows up at one of the teacher's room and watches the kickoff, followed by brainstorming, then pizza, lots of pizza.
