It's a long drive from Indy and I wouldn't mind stopping in some place like Albany for the night and missing the first part of the workshops. Anyone have an idea of the schedule other than what's on the FIRST website now?
Will we be allowed in if we get there late? We are registered to attend.

If you can make it to Manchester, NH for the morning, try to attend all the workshops you can... they are very helpful! But you will be allowed to attend if you arrive late. Spend a few minutes and check out the displays in FIRST Place that date back to the beginning years. And also the Supplier showcase which is held in the same area. In the afternoon there will be technical sessions occurring at the same time as a non-technical track focused on Fundraising. Be sure to look for me at the NEMO table in the showcase area, or in the fundraising workshops!
I will be arriving in NH on Thurs night; giving a rookie presentation on Friday morning and a fundraising presentation on Friday afternoon; attending the reception and another event Friday night; attending the kickoff on Saturday morning.
DON'T FORGET, if you are attending an official kickoff event, you must bring a consent and release form for each student and mentor on the team. "
FIRST Consent and Release Form - All persons attending the Kickoff events will be required to complete the form. Make enough copies for all persons attending with your team and have each read the form, fill in all of the required information, and sign it. Attendees under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian's signature on the form. Turn in the forms at the registration table. Having the forms finished, collected, and stapled or clipped together ahead of time will save you time during registration."
