We’re running a couple of off season events, Girl’s Generation and BunnyBots, and would like to give our new MC some video examples of what great MCs do. She’s been to FRC competitions before so she knows basically how it goes. Sure we could plow through endless Blue Alliance videos but if anyone has created a “Training Reel” or “Greatest Hits” for FRC MCs that would be fantastic. If you have links to particularly interesting introductions, we’d love to pass that along as well.
I would email Blair Hundertmark (Blair[at]usfirst.org) and ask for the training materials that he provides. There are a series of event scripts and power points that get used every year and would be helpful for a new MC.
Excellent idea. I’ve sent Blair a message.
Just to close out the thread, here’s what I heard back from Blair:
