It's gonna be great that we can finally get a FIRST event hosted at RPI. Celebrating science and engineering is something people here can appreciate so it just makes sense to bring a Regional to RPI.
While the FRC program isn't extensive at RPI currently, I have lots of classmates who are alumni of FIRST teams or think this robot thing I do is really cool (or at least they pretend when I'm passionately explaining to them what's going on throughout the season), so I'm sure we will find plenty of support among the students. And there are a few RPI students like myself who mentor teams, but it is definitely not the norm.
