Question Looking for professional help

My name is Alexander Redman. I joined my schools robotics team last year and was thrust into a leadership position. My team has no programming mentors and am looking for online mentors that can answer questions.

P.S. FIRST has inspired me to pursue a career in software engineering. Because my team has no programming mentors it is hard to find someone to point me in the right direction in school choices and other things. I would appreciate any help given.

Thanks.

PM me for my gmail/msn/skype and I'd be more than willing to help you guys out. It's difficult to find professional mentors, let alone programmers.

I'm a student and not a mentor, but I'd be willing to help. Just PM me.

Re: Looking for professional help

Make sure checkout on-line resources posted by FIRST: FRC 2010 Control System

If that doesn't work, you're not far from many terrific NoCal teams. There are teams in Fairfield (FRC701 RoboVikes), Concord (FRC2141, Spartonics), Vacaville (FRC2085, RoboDogs), etc. Use the "What teams and events are in my area?" button on the FIRST home page to find more teams.

You can also contact your Regional Director (Ken Mitchell, Jim Beck) to find leads for mentoring help.

If you have specific questions, post them right here on CD!

Good luck!
