I'm back in Boston being a professor again. One of my friends/colleagues is looking for some test pilots for an interesting program they are starting. Any FRC folks interested in playing with robot arms that draw?

Do you all know any high schoolers nearby (or if there's more than a dozen of them, within 5 hours driving distance of Cambridge, MA) who would be enthusiastic about things like an introductory engineering course involving robot arms?

We would like to talk to them for 10-15 minutes on the phone about engineering education sometime in the next week or two, and understand if they have any interest in a combined online course+kit that involves robot arms that draw. If they are interested we could eventually progress to a 5 hour workshop which covers a significant subset of https://docs.google.com/document/d/1...PPWOIb8P8/edit sometime within the next three weeks for a max of 10 people at once.

Thanks!
