Re: PreRookies, Mentoring and the future of FIRST
It's happening in PA too Wayne.

There's a pre-rookie team at my new school, Lower Merion HS (the team has no number yet). Team 341, host of Ramp Riot this coming Nov 5, just last week, graciously offered to retrofit an old robot so LMHS can play the game AND they've offered to include LM students in the modification process in the fall. Needless to say, the students and school administration are overjoyed and it's given FIRST a huge boost at LM.

My heartfelt thanks go out to Paul Kloberg and you Wayne (the NJ dynamic duo) for promoting this incredible idea and to Al Ostrow, Dina Campagna, and the rest of 341 for this unbelievable opportunity.

There are a few other budding new teams in PA that I know of, so if anyone else in the region would like to give a pre-rookie a lift, please let me know and I'll connect you.
