Very nice! Its great to hear you guys are making these leaps in advancing FIRST in the Washington state!

I'm currently the founder and leader of the Washington SWAT robotics team that's made up of FIRST alumnis that will be attending the Tacoma regional to help out rookie teams and also help coordinate help at the competition. If you need any help, or maybe just want representation of post-FIRSTers in college, I'd be happy to help. This year its small (due to time constraints) and only made up of a few students, but I do have a large list of FIRST alumnis in the Washington area.

So, if you need anything don't hesitate to ask! If this new funding brings about a bunch of new rookie teams (which I hope it does with some funding going to existing teams) then I'd be happy to help you guys or any other team interested in mentoring those teams if needed. I'm wanting to expand SWAT to not just helping at the competition but during the build season as well.

Good luck and look forward to seeing you guys at the regional!
