For those who didn't know, Penney was the last name of the founder, and not the coin!
J. C. Penney Company, Inc. formally announced in February the introduction of a new image and logo featuring an all lower case name: jcpenney. The initials JCP are also represented as their lower case version "jcp."
As we try to properly represent
FIRST with name and logo, we should try to do the same for jcpenney.

Teams should be proactive and helping themselves, not just sitting back and waiting for help.

If the teams work with their sponsoring store and invite them to demos and local competitions, I'm sure there will be some employees or relatives of employees who become interested in mentoring or providing other support. No one sells
FIRST better than engaged students driving around a cool robot!
