What to do in the off-season

[whytheheckme]

I've always been a huge proponent of off-season events. Some north-east events are

• BattleCry@WPI (Worcester, MA) =May 7,8 *FULL*
• PARC (Tunkhannock, PA) =May 8th
• Beantown Blitz (Boston, MA) =May 22nd
• Mayhem in Merrimack (Merrimack, NH) =June 5th
• Where's Wolcott? (Wolcott, CT) =June 5th
• RiverRage (Manchester, NH) ~October
• Bash@TheBeach (Old Lyme, CT) ~October
• Duel On the Delaware ~October
• Ramp Riot (Ambler, PA) ~November
• RaChaCha Ruckus (Rochester, NY) ~November

This list is just compiled using Google etc. Please correct me if any of this info is incorrect.

I've found that off-season events are a great way to (inexpensively) get more play out of that extremely expensive robot that you and your team worked so long and so hard over! And, if you plan your trip well, you can plan in all sorts of team-building activities!

Off season? More like on season, our season is always on. We develop new ideas, teach students about building, electrical, pneumatics, and tools. Work on programming, web design, networking, business planning, fundraising, and community service. We help with local teams to promote FRC and FLL. Help put on fall FRC and FLL events. Cook meals for the homeless, fund raise for those in need. It never ends.
