Re: Our Team is in Quite the Pickle
Having run through a few oh-crap-oh-crap-oh-crap moments:
1) Your Regional Director (and/or FIRST Senior Mentor, if you have one) is your friend here. I don't know if an FSM can, but I know from experience that RDs can talk to FIRST to make changes to main and alternate contacts in situations like this.
2) Parents, parents, parents. You're going to need hands, you're going to need mouths, you're going to need dollars. A cadre of involved parents can do almost anything within a school organization. (Note I said "involved" not "angry"; do it right, and you'll never have to reach "angry"!)
3) Find that new teacher in the school, show them the robot, give them the elevator pitch. They're probably not as overloaded.
And good luck!
