Re: 2006-2007 FVC Events
I might as well jump on this bandwagon and put a plug in for my neck of the woods.
While minor details (like the budgets and date) are still being solidified, we expect to have a formal FVC tournament in Northern Va this season.
Also, another mentor and I are looking forward to collaborating with all interested teams in the area to set up frequent (between 4 and 12 per year) informal competitions (new games/challenges each time).
I am compiling a list of likely area teams (for both purposes). Take 30 seconds to let me know who you are if you are close enough to be interested in either activity. For the informal competitions, I suspect anyone with a kit (and tolerable hygiene  ) will be welcome.
Also, don't forget to register interest in forming an official FVC team on the FIRST web site. They are putting that info to good use.
