Teams,

If you did not make it to the NYU/Poly FRC Kickoff event on Saturday, then checkout the news coverage:

•Scholastic Kids' 11-year old reporter Gowtham Balagi plans to write a blog this week on both FLL and FRC. And he hopes to follow Queens Vocational Technical H.S. and Hunter College through the build season and at the NYC regionals.

•Polytechnic News plans to cover both the FLL and FRC events in the next edition.

•NY-1 taped interviews at both the FLL qualifier and FRC Kick-off -- capturing footage for upcoming reports and a feature on the FRC East Harlem Technical Program team who are dedicating the 2010 season to Glenn Wright who lost his life to violence in September.

•IEEE Spectrum met with 5 or 6 teams including the mentor of Hunter College, the entire Queens Vocational team and mentor Anthony Ali, Qurat of the Iron Maidens and the mentor of The Mary Louis Academy Vinod Lala. I'll be checking with Anne-Marie Corley on her coverage plans this week.

Good luck!
