Re: Skills USA

We spent some time showing off FIRST at the Skills USA local competition last year, I don't know if it was as intense as the one you mention, but we along with other Oregon teams tried to get the message across to these kids about FIRST and they seemed generally interested and excited. I don't know if any new teams were created because of the event but interest was sparked and this may be a good event for robots to be shown at in your area in future years. I don't know where the competition was held this year or we would have attended with our robot to try to spread the message further.
