2006 Monty Madness - Spread the Word!!!

[kazand]

Well we're not planning any event for next year right now. At this point, we're going to take a breather and assess what we'll do going forward, which will certainly include more activities than an off-season event (like building the 2007 robot ).

Just one thing: I've noticed that there are a number of comparisons between off-season events in both this thread and others. My personal opinion is that this doesn't seem to be a particularly useful thing to do. Let's think "big picture" here, practice our graciousness, and remember that all teams holding off-season events should be considered partners and not competitors. And what I mean is that off-season event organizers are all attempting to bring the core values of FIRST to a larger community and instill a sense of excitement for science and technology. How we accomplish this may be different, but rich diversity in approach can be good while we all share a common vision.

Thank you to everyone who could make it out to this year's Monty Madness. It was great to see such a large turn out especially since this was a first year event. The competition was very tiring, but definitely worth it. We hope that we were successful in spreading the ideas of FIRST to the communities around us because that was actually one of the main goals of this off-season competition. Everything ran well(but a little delayed ) and it was great to see everyone so excited about all of the stuff we were selling .

Thank you to all of the volunteers who made it out to the competition. Without you guys, we would not have been able to put on the show.

See you at Duel on the Delaware, Ramp Riot, and Brunswick Eruption....
