Just this past Thursday team 418 hosted a contingent of approximately ( I have not gotten the final tally) 5 US Senators, 19 US Representative, 2 political analyst and a couple of state education people who came to our school to "see what we do with robotics". I beleive it was time well spent because FIRST has encouraged the members of teams all over the country to expand their thought process to a level that Washington may be beginning to pay attention. Good assignment Dean Kamen! Where do we go from here, I wonder?
