Favorite part of the FRC season?

My favorite part of the competition is strategy, so I love the time spent at regionals scouting other teams, working through potential strategies, playing matches, pairing up with alliance partners, and then working through the elimination rounds. It's always exciting. Of course, trying to work out the best strategies early on in the season and working robot design around these thoughts, and pre-competition scouting are also really fun.

I love scouting! Mostly because you can meet other awesome people and get to (if you are lucky) touch their robot! And it is rather enjoyable to me to discuss strategies of different teams' robots.

Oh and you cannot forget that scouting gives you wonderful oportunities to collect buttons

Build season is my favorite, I think that is when you really get to know everyone on your team. I mean bonding over pizza, AMPM food, late nights and that's what she said jokes is pretty enjoyable right? xD But, the regional competitions are a close second.

The first week after kickoff is my favorite part. It is the most challenging and requires the greatest creativity. Its where the season is made or lost. Its also the most draining.

The regionals are the most fun. They really are a celebration of the work you do during build.

Actually, the whole season is great.

Kickoff day is probably my favorite part and this is why:

Dec 25: Christmas
Jan 5:My Birthday
Jan 7:Kickoff

I basically get 3 Christmases.

I voted kickoff.

My favorite part is the strategy. The kickoff is when you get the new game and figure out a new strategy and figure out how you want to play.

I love the competitions too, but they're a little more stressful than the day of kickoff for me. I've never attended the championships, but if I ever did I'm sure it would be my favorite part.
