Local Kick-off

[Tetraman]

synth3tk sumed it up nicely when it comes to the reveal. However for more details of what you and your team will be doing before and after the webcast of "The State of FIRST" speeches and the game reveal, you should contact those in charge of your local kick off.

They will be able to give you a rough idea of when to arrive, when to be seated for the webcast, when and how you will pick up your kit of parts and other needed items.

Some kickoff venues, after the kickoff webcast, will have allocated space for teams to start brainstorming on location, or some teams will offer demos and presentations on more complicated systems, like the camera. I suggest having some team members stick around for these, as they can be very informative.

Being your first kickoff, you should gather the most knowledge that you can so you don't miss something important. And most off all - Network with teams in your area. Talk with other teams, exchange phone numbers and make a few friends. Good luck to you this year!
