What was a great team building exercise and why?

Everything looks great! Love the crate.

Re: owww Man you guys are lucky!

*Slight twinge of jealousy at having a full scale indoor playing field, and a place to store the Rack from last year*

That'll be a great help for visualization and whatever driver practice you guys do. Although, I think that you will have to find a way to control the ball from bouncing all over the byuilding - cuz those little walls on the side probably won't cut it! Oh well, chasing a Trackball around is good exercise.

Are those two chairs an official part of the Track? Somehow I think that they will get in the way

Re: pic: 1629 Full size track

How'd you get the space to put that thing? I'm not sure we'll be able to fit a whole track this year in the space we have...

Yup. I think oftentimes we forget to recognize and acknowledge the opportunities for team building that are there for us as teams. When someone sees and identifies those opportunities as they occur, that is something everyone can appreciate.

Re: pic: 1629 Full size track

we have one space that's carpeted but a couple feet short in the width and like 5' short in the length. But we have an un-carpeted area that it fits in but inconveniently has 8' ceiling. haha

Since this was the first time that many of the new kids had worked with the mentors, and even some of the parents, it was a great way for the team to get to know each other, have some fun doing something constructive. Turning those drawings into a full size structure was quite an exercise.

So by "Team Building" I didn't mean "build a bigger team", but "build the team spirit".


Likewise, a small group of students worked with a related familiy member (who was an artist) to adorn the crate with the team logo. Two years ago the team didn't really have a logo or recognizable image. This year it will appear on everything....

We worked with the Economic Development Dept. of our local government (who sees FIRST as a great workforce education program) .
We petitioned the county comissioners to let us use part of an unused county-owned building.

We have 6000 sw feet of space rent free. It's a HUGE benefit.
Look around your area, you never know what's sitting vacant looking for a FIRST team.

Re: pic: 1629 Full size track

As of right now we only have the overpass done. I dont think we are gonna be building the whole track

But that looks amazing!
