Could the school maybe even end up getting a CARD team out of this?

At this point, who knows. What all we do is still somewhat up in the air. Like Tim mentioned, we know we want to create a community here to support FIRST alumni and FIRST in the area.

I've thought about CARD, but don't know much about it yet. I'm just watching to see what comes of it. I know VT already has some aerial robotics groups.

Well it sounds like you already have the basics of CARD down

Since this is a hokie thread, I have a request.....

I need a list of VT students or alumni that have EVER been on a Georgia team or have been on a team that has attended the Peachtree EVER.

The Peachtree Regional is coming up on its tenth anniversary and we gotta do some celebrating.

Please PM me the info.

I will be out of town for that meeting. Whom can I contact to get more information about this group? I am very interested in helping the new team in Roanoke.

We will definitely put this on the agenda. It was something I was considering, but didn't have a lot of known support on campus. Now one of the problem is fixed, time to change the other.

Ed, we will most definitely get you a list of the members and their teams that have competed in the Peachtree Regional. Maybe this something we should start for all Regionals...

On a side note, if anyone has any specific topics they would like covered please let us know on here or via email (FIRSTalumsatVT@gmail.com)

If you are looking to create a community to support FIRST alumni, then a card team might be a valid solution, as it demonstrates your continued involvement in FIRST. It may also be recognized by other FIRST alumni around the further area, which could increase the size of your community; Just giving a couple of ideas.

If you do end up making a CARD team, feel free to shoot me a PM if you need more information. We started a CARD team in our area, and we are getting to know the program more thoroughly.
