The Massive Mini workshop, FIRST® Team 1764's crown jewel, is an annual, team learning exhibition. In addition to providing a wealth of knowledge, it also serves to help FIRST® Robotics teams improve their presentation and communication skills. This year marked the fifth occurance of this event, and it went off with a bang! With over twenty teams in attendance, the event has continued to grow with each passing year. These PowerPoints are a representation of the Massive Mini classes from both present and past years.
