Practice

Our team provides excellent opportunities for practice: games and events. We feel that in order to attain the ambitious goal of a generation of eager students of science and technology, a gratuitous amount of practice in all regards is needed. Local events for practice include the local scrimmage, and former Scouting Director Chris Fornof has created a fantastic game for RMR to utilize.

Practice Games

  • Baton Blitz! — Chris Fornof, former Scouting and Strategy Director, created a simulated FIRST game called Baton Blitz! in 2006. This game is useful to introduce rookie members of a team to a FIRST style game, and to introduce them to the thought process involved. We hope you find this useful!
  • Games from past years. — A wikipedia article on FIRST. To find games from years past, scroll down and look at the chart. Follow links to find descriptions and to get a general idea of what the games are about.
