The mall donated a really nice back room for us to use as this year's build site. When the store front in front of us moved out they let us use it as advertising space for our team and FIRST robotics. We meet 6-9 Mon- Fri, and 10-6 on Sat. Whenever we're here the display is open to the public. We usually have 2-3 people working the display at a time, helping answer people's questions, and making sure no one walks off with our bot
.
The display has only been open for a few days but thanks to the amazing exposer that we're getting but it's been an incredible success so far. We've already had 6 students who really want to join next year, 4 people who were very interested in mentoring, several people who wanted to start Lego leagues at their schools, and even a few people wanted to sponsor us. Overall people have really enjoyed coming through our booth and many have come multiple times. Sometimes we let them look at the build site in the back room which usually gets them pretty excited. Many of the people that come by want to go to the local regional competition in Denver.
It's been a very successful, and in a week or two we might have a demo in the main section of the mall. That'll be fun
Anyways, I'll be posting some more pictures soon, so until then, any more questions/comments?
