Group, here is additional information from our friends at CERNER.

Important information regarding the CowTown ThrowDown

All,

Due to scheduling conflicts and low team participation, the CowTown ThrowDown will be postponed until Fall 2008. Cerner and Lee’s Summit Team Driven are dedicated to the advancement of the FIRST community and want to ensure that the CowTown ThrowDown provides the level of competition and energy that teams are looking for. We are excited to see this event succeed in the Fall and will spend the summer making sure the competition provides the maximum benefit to the FIRST community.

We understand that each Fall brings an array of chaos as students come back to school, however, it is important to think about building your team and keeping students engaged in FIRST. The CowTown ThrowDown provides a perfect opportunity to recruit new team members and to allow your upcoming members field time. We also hope that this fun, low- key event will be the perfect opportunity for schools who are interested in FIRST to learn more.

There are many announcements to come over the summer (including the new date) and with school out of session, it can be hard to keep the lines of communication open. If you wish to receive periodic announcements regarding the CowTown ThrowDown, please email associateservices@cerner.com with your preferred email address.

If your team is interested in competing in the Fall, send your registration form in and reserve your spot. Forms can be found on the website and emailed, faxed or mailed in. If you have already registered, we will hold onto your forms and checks until the Fall. No need to reregister.

Don’t forget to visit our website periodically for updates! www.cttd-robotics.com

I am sad and relieved. I know some our kids really wanted to go, but we couldn't make it. But now we can use it as a recruitment tool for next year. We can take some newbies out and give them a taste without them having to make a commitment first. Then we can implement our evil scheme to get them so hooked they have to come out for the build season. (insert evil laughter here):D
