Here's a little more information about the group:

GO FIRST is an alumni organization at the University of Minnesota. It was created to help support the growth of FIRST in the Minneapolis and St. Paul area. A requirement for all members it to volunteer in some way at the MN regionals, either though VIMS, helping robotics teams, or coordinating scouting alliances. After volunteering at the MN regionals students decide their own level of involvement based on school schedules and the extra time they can commit to a team.

Other things we do include providing pre-ship inspections and presentation tips at the Pre-Ship regional in MN, presenting on a number of different topics at MN Splash, and coordinating trips to other regionals or off-season events that we volunteer at.

Since school started at the University last week we're still organizing the group and figuring out how many active students we have this year. Currently we have a large variety of majors ranging from Electrical, Mechanical, Biomedical Engineering, Communications, Marketing, Management, Multimedia, and Programming. Our first big meeting is Monday September 20th, for those teams who posted here I'm going to contact you via PMs to get more information about your team & what kind of talents/mentors you would find useful.

MN teams, keep posting if you're looking for help!!!!
