[JB987]

It may be helpful to point out that our 3 teams are only sending a limited number of student and adult representatives as a fair share of our travel costs are to be covered by our hosts. In addition to attending the scrimmage we will be training organizers and volunteers, facilitating the set up and operation of the field and matches and putting on the workshops. We are certainly fortunate one of our alumni/mentors is an FTA and others are robot inspectors, etc...One of the goals of the visit is to help our Chinese friends learn how to ultimately put on their own regional as early as 2016. There has also been some discussion about members of their teams coming to Las Vegas in July for additional workshops, dependent upon availability of financial support from their benefactors in China. We certainly hope everything works out as planned and are excited to partake in this new chapter in the growth of FIRST FRC!
