Go to Post FIRST is aimed at those girls on your team. They don't know anything about mechanics, or electricity, or programming, or machining. They have no interest in it, either. They're perfect candidates for FIRST. - Madison [more]

Jim,
Thanks so much for sharing this. There have been rumors this year about Texas going to the district model, which has prompted a lot of the noise you mentioned - "Not enough teams", "expensive", "time off school", "team density", blah blah blah. I like small events, I like lots and lots of matches. I think FIRST events are better than school. This is great.
