Re: FRC Kickoff
1. I don't know.
2. This is what I do... Go to Kickoff, bring paper or a computer. Write down every random idea that comes to your head during the presentation, key details they mention, etc. Have a game manual downloaded to your computer you can immediately decrypt, read the game specific stuff on the way back, then start brainstorming. My team then all goes through as a group and reads every word of the manual. It's really boring. Then brainstorming about robot concepts, what will be important in the game, every single method of scoring and every single method of preventing every single method of scoring.
