It was really neat to see all the FIRST Robots teams at the Washington D.C Engineering and Science Fair.

The Missouri Pavilion was a great success, a special congratulations to the Missouri elementary schools that had an opportunity to show what they have been doing to inspire the youth of today to become the professionals of tomorrow.

One of the great outcomes from the many conversations we had in D.C is that next year we hope to demonstrate a quad-copter build by middle school students at Langston that can communicate with a gardening robot built by the 6 elementary schools (Colombia, Ashland, Mann, Walbridge, Sigel and Hamilton) using the same materials that students use when participating in FRC competition. If you are in the D.C area and would like to collaborate with Missouri elementary students on the gardening robot project to be demo in 2013, send me a PM.

Cheers,
