Re: Political Activism "Dean's Homework"
While this is outstanding progress, and a very noteworthy accomplishment, work is far from over. If you havn't yet talked to your representative (and others), do it! And that means local, state, and national legislature reps, not just the US Congress (yeah, I'm one upping Dean's assignment). Do whatever you can to help advance FIRST in your region.
Luckily for 116 (and thanks to Motorola and Wildstang), we had a chance to speak to several representatives, senators, etc. at the Tap2015 Conference in June (a fair in which dozens of major corporations were showing how they tried to increase America's standing in math, science, technology and engineering by 2015). Motorola was granted extra space, and was kind enough to ask us to join Wildstang's FRC team with some of our Vex material to advertise the potential of Vex.
But I bet someone out there has done something better than that (particularly you NH teams!), so we're not finished, and niether should any other team (and it certainly doesn't seem like anyone is resting). Keep up the work, and keep spreading FIRST.
