Hey everyone! I am from team 461 Westside Boiler Invasion and was part of the group from Purdue that helped to start the team. There's a lot to starting a college-led team as you may guess but it is definitely do-able and it is an absolutely amazing experience! I was on team 68 Truck Town Thunder in high school and happened to get hooked up with some others that were interested in starting a team here. It was so great to be able to give back what I gained from the program and I would definitely recommend starting a team to anyone who is interested and has a passion for it! If you have ANY questions, please feel free to email me
schnepsm@purdue.edu or IM me at shrtcak999. I am currently working on a document with advice and guidance as far as starting a college-led FIRST team from our 4 years of experience in doing it...hopefully this will be posted on here by the end of this week so be watching for it. Yeah FIRST!!!! :-)
