The time is here! Kick-off is upon us!
As I have said before, one the most important and exciting events of the FRC, FIRST Robotics Competition, is about to occur. Now I'm going to tell you what my team plans on doing.
We are going to have ten students and mentors go to the "local" Kick-off at SJSU to see the presentation for this years build season. They will also be picking up our kit of parts. The kit of parts are parts that FRC and other supporting companies donate to each team every build season. I believe this year they will be including a new and very useful belt system that we can apply to the drive train of our robot.
The rest of the team will be meeting at Fremont High School in Sunnyvale to see the live broadcast of the kick-off. We will be brainstorming and discussing ideas about the kick-off while we wait for the members at SJSU to return. From there, it shall be a large group discussion and brainstorming. The broadcast is at 7 am and we will probably be brainstorming until 5 pm. This events starts the whole time consuming and crazy fun season of Robotics.
Hopefully, I will have the time once the season starts to continue updating this blog on what my team accomplishes. If I can, two or three updates a week would be ideal along with an end of the week summary. We are given six weeks to brainstorm, design, build and test a robot. I know it seems like a lot of time, I thought so my first year, but those six weeks go by in the blink of an eye.
Sincerely,
