Anyone here notice that it's extremely difficult to contact a FIRST team in your area?

Sure, you can use the FIRST place to find the teams that operate around you, but actually reaching out those programs to open a dialog can be extremely challenging.

For me, I've become a bit of a pro at hunting down teams, but it's not been easy. I have to really hope that a team has an active webpage with an active email address. However, if that doesn't work out, which doesn't most of the times, then I'm having to scour Chief Delphi, look through school webpages, or go through my existing FIRST contacts.

However, very recently I went through this process with someone who is new to FIRST. Someone who is looking to get involved and simply wasn't sure how to reach a team, and frankly, it was embarrassing.

FIRST needs a way for people to be able to reliable contact FIRST teams, regardless of how established a team or its presence in social media.
