FIRST is pleased to announce that, in cooperation with the volunteer leadership of FIRST in the state of Michigan, a new pilot district event model will be launched for the 2009 FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) season to provide increased robotics competitions and reach more students statewide in Michigan.
The volunteer leadership in Michigan has launched its own 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization in the state, which will be known as ‘FIRST in Michigan’, to implement and execute the new district event pilot model as well as other FIRST programs. FIRST in Michigan will be responsible for implementing FRC programs in the state to make the most effective use of local resources and create more opportunities in robotics for students.

I am looking for as many students to show up next Tuesday at the LaFontaine Center at 11:30 am for a luncheon until about 2pm. The only catch is you need to wear your team shirt and socialize.
Also we need to drive the robot around a bit at the end. (It’s the Rotary Club luncheon presentation). You don’t have to speak or anything, just smile and talk to them about robotics, table talk is good.
If you can come, please RSVP to me by THURSDAY this WEEK, I need to let them know how many people are coming.
It’s next Tuesday, August 5th from 11:30 am till about 2 pm.
Brief Agenda:
11:30 am unload robots and setup projection.
12:00 pm eat lunch till 12:55pm
12:55 till about 1:25pm presentation
1:30 pm pack up
Not directed at Luke personally, just sounded catchy.
But really, team members, try to start checking/using the forum more. It could really improve our flow of communication.
We’re also going to add an arcade on Monday, so everyone try to beat Chris at Space Invaders.
