Honestly, Greenfield has a good PLTW program, and we have a pretty well put together FIRST team of Greenfield and Morristown, but we don't really use FIRST Robotics as part of the PLTW program. It was mostly kids in Greenfield's PLTW that were interested as far as our half goes, so I could draw a connection there.

It would be kind of neat to make something in our PLTW program that partnered with FIRST Robotics. It'd be an excuse to work on the bot during school, and it would show students just how much work a bot takes to build. Like, people in my school who don't know what we do, think that we sit around and pick our noses every night after school during the build season. It would show them that it's a lot more than that. It forces you to go outside your comfort zone with your ability to do things, and you make a lot of friends out of it.

Amazing. I never really thought of teaming PLTW with FIRST... thanks for the idea, and I hope at least one thing I said helped you.
