Suits me, Brandon! As long as there's some form of "easy" team number based method of communicating with teams. Scouring through team websites (assuming they have them) and searching the yellow pages looking for school district phone numbers, all in an effort to locate a team's leader, is a major time-consuming chore!

Of course Google and FIRST are now good buddies so I'm sure a Gmail-based communications system would be a positive-PR bonanza for both.
