Doug, if I understand correctly, Kevin Ross is
not helping with the remote kickoff. I presumed he may be because he obviously knows something more than the rest of us, but that may be through some other circumstance. FIRSTWA is a part of the Seattle Robotics Society, with which Kevin is a member.
I wasn't sure if I ought to mention anything about the e-mail here at all, as I don't have good answers as to why this is available to this region, but perhaps no others. Though, that said, I don't believe that Kevin, SRS or FIRSTWA would do anything improper or underhanded; so though I don't know why we're able to have this chance, we are and I thought others might want to be prepared for a relatively significant expense -- $125 practically covers travel expenses for one student on our team, so we certainly appreciate the savings.
