I’d like to make one correction – It should read:
“Keith McClary (not McHenry) announced that the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) was underway”.

Also, an addition:

Local High School student teams are now building their robots, for competitions in March and April.

High School FIRST teams are still seeking adult volunteer mentors with basic tool skills to help them build their robots. To contact a FIRST team close to you, please call FIRST HQ at 1-800-US1-TEAM (1-800-871-8326). Ask them for a local “FRC Team Contact”, or where to find an upcoming admission free competition event nearby to watch the fun.

You can also find either one online, at:
http://www.usfirst.org/whatsgoingon.aspx

Enter: “FRC”, “Michigan”, “Teams” (or “Events”), and “List” (or “Map”) in the pulldown menus, then hit “Show Results”.

Thanks!

I love the mix of kids and adults (grown kids) that are gathering. Seems to be heating up in the area. Hope they continue and plan to attend future movie nights w/ my son.
