'New 4-H team will compete in robotics' Article

[DavidGitz]

Al - I just checked the STL regional and we have 5 rookie teams from Illinois coming: Alton, Mt. Vernon, Quincy, Troy and Springfield. If memory serves the Quincy team used to be around but went defunct a few years back, and now they are starting up again with new mentors/new students. We are supporting the Alton, Mt. Vernon and Troy teams more directly as they are more local for us and we have offered our help to Quincy and Springfield as well. For the St. Louis area a lof of the teams have been working in coordination with the RD to develop training camps, resources, anything we can do to help out new and existing teams. At the STL Regional I believe we are expecting 14 rookie teams so it is going to be a very exciting year!

Thanks for you offer of support. I will definitely let you know of anything that comes up.
