I would also like to take this opportunity to announce the "ask an
engineer" program run by the NUtrons. This system is set up
specifically for teams and mentors who have ANY questions at all
relating to FIRST. Fundraising, programming, constructing, team
building, competitions are just a few examples of what we can help you
with. All you have to do is send an email to
askanengineer.125@gmail.com and we will try our hardest to give you a helpful and detailed response within 24 hours.
Thanks!
