Alright, I seem to be really bad at answering/starting some of this stuff lately but never fear, I am still interested in the project. This message was just to let those of you out there that were interested in this that I still am interested in helping with the design of the site. Ken, if you could, msg me next time you see me on.

[Ken Leung]

Thanks Sunny. Will do.

Sounds like a good idea, count me in.

I am in to represent UD and the Miracle Workerz. I can't get away from FIRST and I will probaly mentor my team for many more years to come since they are only a half hour from campus.

I am absolutely positively not kidding, getting addicted to FIRST is worse than anything I've ever seen,

Great idea-

I'm an Alumni member of the PloyBots Club at Polytechnic University located in Brooklyn, NYC. This year they mentored and supported 11 NYC FRC teams, FRC Kickoff and State Regional Lego League. Obviously the 15+ PolyBot members are addicted to FIRST too, so count us IN.

hey, sorry that i missed this one like a month and a half ago, but i'm definitely interested... i live for this crap. i was working miracles for my team while i was in highschool and i still help them out a bit, keep me posted, i'm not sure if i missed something, i went over this thread really quickly, but djo161@psu.edu should work for ya'll, and i definitely think this is an awesome idea... i'm at penn state university park, state college, for those of you who are familiar... Mechanical engineering major, and i, like the lucas plan to mentor and such. thanks, ken...

count me in!!! awesome idea, dude

I am currently a high school senior, who went to their final competition ever two weeks ago. Already, I'm freaking out trying to figure out how to fill this massive void in my life. If I go to Michigan Tech next year, I plan on mentoring the team they sponsor. However, if I go to Purdue or Notre Dame, I plan on coming home on the weekends to mentor my old high school team. I think that this organization is a great idea. Not only does it provide a think tank for college FIRSTers, but in a way it also acts as an alumni association, in that it helps keep FIRSTers connected even after they leave high school. Keep me posted as to what develops, or if you want some assistance in organizing this!

Count me in. I'm glad my college has a team here, but you can't get enough of FIRST.

[Powers]

I will be graduating this year, count me in as a representative of the University of Texas - Austin... good idea.

This is a really great idea. At UCF, there is no robotics ANYTHING anymore so I'm trying to get together some friends to start a new robotics club from scratch. Since there are quite a few FIRST teams in the area we were thinking our first project could be to mentor the area teams. On an engineering student's schedule I know this is going to be hard, so something like what you're suggesting would be great to keeping our sanity.

sounds like a great idea to me. I'm going to cooper union next fall, and have been pondering how to fill my FIRST void. I'll probably end up working with my old team between semesters, but i'd be interested in mentoring others as well.
