NEW TEAM - Pioneer HS Team 1015 in Ann Arbor MI Needs Mentors

[kmcclary]

We'd again wish to inform and invite students coming to ANY of the Ann Arbor / Ypsilanti MI colleges or universities (UM, EMU, Cleary, WCC, etc.) that we'd LOVE to have you join our team as mentors and team mates for the 2004 FIRST season!

We had some absolutely WONDERFUL mentors from UM last year for our rookie year! (THANK YOU, Josh, Laura, Joe, Max, and Lindsay! I can't say enough good about them, and we sure couldn't have done it without you guys!)

Unfortunately, most of them can NOT come back this year due to their class loads, and their loss is already deeply felt.

FYI: Last year, we had a "stone soup" shop in the empty basement of a local sponsor, and it was rough. THIS year, not only do we have SEVERAL new teachers involved, we're now in the process of building an entire FIRST "lab/work room" in the school for us, with workbenches, air, three phase power, the whole nine yards... <YEA!>

We ALREADY have several VERY interesting NEW robot technology preseason projects underway, that we wish accomplish before kickoff. Not only should it be a GREAT and fascinating growth year for the team, it'll be an opportunity to work on some great robotic projects now!

But we're missing YOU, so please come join us!

Pioneer HS is located right across the street from the UM football stadium, a short walk from the UM's main campus, or literally minutes away from downtown by four major bus routes.

Please contact me directly ASAP if you ARE already in or coming to the area, or know of ANYONE from your current team that graduated and WILL be coming to the Ann Arbor MI area and may wish to be involved with our FIRST team.

Thanks!
