Lightbulb New Team Shadowing

A teacher from a nearby school became interested in starting a robotics team after watching our team's season video collage.

I suggested that they start next year by participating in the local BEST game and then shadow our team during FIRST.

My ideas are to invite the teachers to some of our preseason mentor meetings and then invite their students from BEST to our annual kick-off viewing party and subsequant brainstorm session.

Now, how about the build season? This is when the real fun for mentors start as there are so many critical issues that arise during this time-crunched window. Students could benefit from experiencing the hectic pace as well. I would assume that the individuals shadowing are going to make suggestions and want to lay hands on tools and help build. Is that an issue?

My final thoughts are to have the potential new team charter a bus and attend the Saturday events of the Lone Star regional which we attend. I am also going to suggest that the team main contact join our team for the entire event beginning on Thursday. One needs to expereince the whole event from uncrating and how we run team meetings ....


So please post away, regardless if you have hosted a shadow team or not.
