Hi Anna,
I'm originally from Avon, CT - I've been involved with the UberBots (FRC 1124) for a while. I'd really love to help you guys out, but I go to college in the Boston area so it's not exactly practical. However, I'd still like to be able to share my knowledge with you, so feel free to contact me if you ever need advice on anything that I can help with from afar. (My email address is
emcisaac@mit.edu- I'm probably best suited toward advice on team organization, strategy & coaching, logistics, deadlines, awards submissions, outreach and volunteer work, etc.) Also, try reaching out to local teams- I know that the both Uberbots and the Enforcers (from Farmington, FRC 178) have enjoyed helping out local teams in the past, and I'm sure they and others would all be delighted to help you with anything you need. You can contact the UberBots at
avonrobotics@comcast.net if you want to reach them. I hope everything works out for your team!
Ellen
