Go to Post I think it's important to keep FIRST's most important award as the top point getter [in Fantasy FIRST]. It's help reinforce that the Chairman's award, Engineering Inspiration and Woodie Flowers award are actually important and FIRST is about more than just the robots. - Koko Ed [more]

Re: Suggestions For Developing Off Seasons Without The 'Like IRI' Mindset Trap

We've learned a lot over the years of developing Ruckus and were discussing doing something similar (at least organizing & releasing all of our documentation on our website).

I think the reality is offseasons need to start simple as you suggest. JUST start with a 1 day event, do things that appeal to ALL people, not just FIRSTaholics or CD'ers, be careful with your food & registration costs - keep them as low as possible, and start small, focus on the local teams.

I will let you know when we get our documentation up... I had a list that Jason Rees and I generated the first year of things our Committee needed to discuss and plan, and thats probably a good way for most events to start.

Excellence - is the result of caring more than others think is wise, risking more than others think is safe, dreaming more than others think is practical, and expecting more than others think is possible.
