Andy,
Another great idea. Unfortunately, some it is already being done.
FIRST is having a lego league and it's taking place in september. I
love that idea so much and i think that FIRST will benefit greatly from
it. I have already, along with a few other returning students, asked
to mentor some of the students at the middle school. The way the lego
league is set up. a team is composed of about 5-7 students (i think)
so a middle school could send multiple teams down there and FIRST
students could take a team by themselves receiving help from teachers if
they needed. All in all, I think that this lego league will be a huge
success and i'd like to say hats off to FIRST for putting this together
and i hope they'll stay away from tri-alliances in this league
Tim
