    3 Much of the Fall (September-December) is spent on training: building the skills we will use during build season.  Training is divided into Overview Training (for all students/mentors) and Advanced Training (more specialized training for students on a sub-team such as control systems or mechanical or operations).

    54The purpose of overview training is to help everyone understand what 2537 does as a team and how it does it.  After overview training, students should understand what a robot is, how it is built, how the team operates to build it, and the basic skills used.  Overview Training should:

    7     * Be on the team wiki (if you don't have access, please let me know asap) - NOT on the Google Drive
    8     * Provide the big picture (e.g. how the robot works or how funds are raised)
    9     * Help new students and mentors understand in detail what each subteam does
    10     * Be fun and light-hearted (dad-jokes '''are''' allowed)
    11     * Be hands-on as much as possible (include exercises)
    12     * Be self-paced (many students don't attend every meeting)
    13     * Use/link to as much existing online material as possible (don't re-invent the wheel)

    17     * Cause death by power-point
    18     * Teach detailed skills (soldering, crimping, Java, milling)
    19     * Focus excessively on theory (math/physics/etc.) or requires skills/knowledge a freshman might not have
    20     * Take more than 2-3 meetings per discipline (electrical, software, mech, ops, etc.)

    2221Please don't re-invent the wheel!  For almost any topic, there are already existing excellent training materials that you can link to (see Training Resources below).  A template for developing training materials is [http://wiki.team2537.com/attachment/wiki/TrainingMaterials/Controlling%20Direction%20and%20Speed%20of%20a%202-wire%20DCMotor.docx here].  Some past examples of self-paced online lessons are [http://wiki.team2537.com/wiki/ArduinoDevelopment here]
