Re: Skills USA

I use to work as a judge at the VICA Skills Competition Championship at Kansas City, Missouri through work. It is exciting to see all the different avenues of skills. We had some of our engineers work with the robotics area as judges. It would be good have some presence of FIRST on the floor. I haven't been for a few years, but I do know they have one day open to the public to come see the competitions and there are tons of booths in the hallways. I am impressed by the work of the students, but not as impressed when I am working with our robotics community. It is amazing to be around high school students that are helpful and not competitive like you get in the sports arena.
