FRC Kickoff

[BrendanB]

Our teams has a few members go to the kickoff while the rest of us gather at our coaches house. We usually begin at 9 and discuss the upcoming year and how the time line of build season SHOULD go, even though it never does. One of the coaches has a power point of weeks and what we should be doing along with other information on what will happen during the year as we have a ton of new students show up on kickoff. All during this 1-2 students are occasionally tuning in on the webcast to see if anything interesting is going on. And once the kickoff starts to go into full swing, the entire team watches it. After seeing the field and the kickoff begins to wind down. We come up with a list of questions to ask the folks whom are at the field so we can get a better idea what characteristics of the field and elements might be challenging. Then we read through the rules as a team and discuss them to make sure everyone is on the same page, all while watching the animation several times over.


THEN ON TO BUILD SEASON!
