Good Afternoon Teams,

This is Frank Merrick writing, with some news. Bill Miller has concluded his service at FIRST, after seven seasons as Director of FRC. Bill’s efforts with FIRST made a world of difference, leading us to double the number of teams in FRC during his tenure and positively impacting the lives of tens of thousands of students and mentors. FRC would not be where it is without his hard work and vision, and he will be greatly missed. We wish him the best of luck in his future endeavors.

I served Bill as his Deputy Director for four years, and will be assuming duties as Acting Director of FRC during this transition period. I’m looking forward to this new challenge! You will soon start seeing regular blogs from me. We will be transitioning this blog from ‘Bill’s Blog’ to the ‘FRC Blog’, and you will be able to find the new blog here: http://firstroboticsblog.blogspot.com, starting immediately.

Frank

Bill will be missed greatly!
