Re: FIRST Robotics for the Blind?

well this is something i have been putting thought into, their is a blind student at our school who was very interested in the robot and wants to join next year. So far I havent been able to come up with a good way to work him into our program but I would definitly like to. The thing that amazed me the most is that one night when the bot was at school he and I went through the whole robot and he felt each piece, this was about 4 weeks ago and he still can relativly accurately describe parts on the bot to ask me questions about it. It seems like a shame to lose someone with this ability and with this desire to get involved. However many people are tending to discourage him, one of our mentors was questioning why I was l;etting him touch it. I feel I need to come up with a solution soon if I am going to get him involved next season.
