I have a great deal of love for FRC, and last year I did a great deal of work to make it possible for me to volunteer at two regionals and Championships, plus an FTC Super Regional, but as I'm pretty sure anyone who volunteers at events knows, sometimes it simply isn't possible for it to work, and that's even more of an issue for college students who are passionate about the program and want to stay involved.

Contact Laurie Shimizu, lfshimizu@gmail.com she's essentially lead volunteer coordinator for Minnesota and tell her what roles you want to volunteer in and ask her what you can do to prepare. (I think it's safe to list her email her since it's here: http://www.usfirst.org/whats-going-o...rogramCode=FRC )

Create an account in VIMS and register to volunteer. https://my.usfirst.org/FIRSTPortal/L...?eventid=17435 that's the Northern Lights Regional in Duluth next year. I'll likely be there as scorekeeper again. I look forward to seeing you there.

The Iowa regional coincides with Easter , so your college may be on break and that may be an easy one to volunteer at.

But don't wait or you'll miss your chance.
