I know that here at University of Minnesota GO FIRST Team #5 we got interested in CARD really back in the late fall when some people we knew at IIT mentioned to us about CARD and quad copters. I think it's mainly from word of mouth and people from the midwest who knew people involved in planning at IIT. It's a geographic logistics thing.

Also, I'd like to mention how awesome a time I had participating in CARD. It was a real time sink, but it was well worth it and I learned a lot more about engineering and designing than I did in any of my Freshman engineering classes this year.
