Boy Scouts from Rockford Troop 139 will be attending on Saturday, as part of the new Boy Scouts Merit Badge for Robotics. They will be guests of FIRST Team 2039, Rockford Robotics. (I was hoping to snag them to come with us to Midwest, but alas!) I understand the scouts will be in uniform, so say Hi if you see them.

Their troop leader is this guy, Dr. Jeff Royce (picture attached); he is a Headache doctor, so if you see him be sure to grab your head and yell, "OW!"

BSA now offers a robotics merit badge, and one of the ways to get this badge is to attend a robotics competition. This is an opportunity to invite another organization to "coopertate" for the better future of the world with us; let us hope they accept (but not graciously, that's another thread). Alliances aren't only forged on late Saturday mornings in March and April.
