Well, we're here! 50 more days until kick-off and FRC teams are mostly signed up for competitions/championships, submitting awards, fundraising, and building their Teams!

What kind of stuff is your team doing to get ready for the 2012 season?

Some of the stuff my team (772!) is doing:
- Building an off-season chassis as a prototype
- Creating a new business plan
- Fundraising by putting on dances for the grade 7/8's
- Programmers are currently learning how to program in C++, and doing the BETA testing
- Electrical is learning the uses of Pneumatic, how to set up pneumatic systems and how to correctly wire a Robot
- Mechanical is learning how to design in SolidWorks
- Animating the Safety Animation

This year we are signed up for Greater Toronto Regional West, Smoky Mountains Regional (Tennessee), Queen City Regional (Cincinnati), And FIRST Championships!! (total of 58 hours of driving! :$)
