Things to do at regionals during off time

[D_Price]

Our team usually never has off time but if we do we usually play hacky sack and eat..if we are not building the robot.

You’re right, there is very little free time at regionals. However, if you happen to have some free time go mingle with some other teams. It’s awesome meeting new people. If your matches are over for the day go cheer with one of your favorite teams. At the Championship I usually trade shirts with different teams during my free time. On practice day I go to the Web Hug or take much needed water to the pit crew. It gets really hot. We want to make sure that they are okay since they usually stay busy.

I forgot to mention to relieve some of the scouting people because they get tired of sitting still for 12 hours.

Gee thanks a lot. I clicked on the game intending to check it out and spent 5 hours playing it =S. Still haven't beat it yet though. Darn that game is addictive.
