The FM transmitter sounds okay, but I am still holding out for a Cell Phone/Alpha Pager/Voice Mailbox handed out to each team at kickoff (did I say Kickoff, YES I SAID KICKOFF!) Team messages could be given out via this system. Not only at the competitions, but throughout the season.

I have heard that DaimlerChrysler has a system where employees can get e-mail messages via their alpha pager -- just put a .pager at the end of their e-mail address -- way cool.

Every team with an e-mail box (or at least an alias) such as TeamXXX@usfirst.org Every team with an alpha pager TeamXXX.pager@usfirst.org Every team with a VME box with FIRST (perhaps even with group distributions for the Rookies, Regionals, Mentors, etc.) AND every team with a cell phone (perhaps even with those walkie talkie features for talking to eachother so that the minutes would not get too costly). One possibility we could explore is the idea of 'town meetings' where everyone calls a 'meet me line' once a week during the build in order to discuss the issues of the day.

There are a LOT of possibilities here. There is a potential for a quantum leap in communication, both at the competitions and during the build cycle.

Motorola? Nortel? Nynex? Others? Can you make this happen in 2001?

Please.

Joe J.
