[JB987]

Members of FRC Team 987 and 3009 just spent the morning with Dean. He was the keynote speaker kicking off an IBM sponsored convention here in Las Vegas and did an awesome job pitching FIRST to the 7,000 attendees...even got a standing ovation from them. After the opening event he signed copies of the New Cool. He signed well over a hundred copies in the short time our team demonstrated a practice version of this year's robot near his table and the line extended dozens deep when we were leaving. No doubt the "message" is going to be shared with a much bigger audience that just those of us in FIRST!
