Re: Wired Magazine's Chris Anderson University Team Blimp Presentation 2010 Champions

To fill in some of the missing pieces....

1. The meeting will be held in room C-304.

2. We have had very strong response from the universities on the FIRST-contact list concerning the meeting. One purpose of the meeting is to measure the interest of universities in this project. Participants will be invited to help guide the process, including defining the parameters of the competition, competition structure/tasks, schedule, ... Chris is very active in technology focused social networks, and I suspect the discussion next week will continue virtually over the next few months to fully define the project.

3. As far as the feasibility of the project happening, that will be determined by the combined interest of the community.

4. The blimps are quite cool - they just sort of drift around in a happy place when you aren't controlling them.

Feel free to post other questions and I'll see if I can help answer them.
