It was a great event last year; the support of great teams, fantastic volunteers and all those freebies! Even IPod's (right Judy
)
I wouldn't classify this as a crash. Sometimes hard choices have to be made with limited resources (money, time, people-sound familiar????) and what is best looking at the long term picture. This event was not only a great opportunity for teams but a showcase for FIRST and we all want to make sure we showcase FIRST the best we can.
So let's just say we hope that Capital Clash is taking a break and will be back next year.
We are fortunate in this area to have so many great off-season events and the support of Mike Wade and the traveling NASA field. Visit the calendar page at
www.firstnemo.org to see a list of the off-season events. Dee will be sending out VA State Fair info in waves, starting with VA and NC and then expanding to the surrounding states. All the details should be out in the next few days.
