FIRST, Gael Force in this month's Discover magazine

Both FIRST and Gael force were featured in this month's discover magazine. I don't have any text with me, but it is a nice read for people just learning about FIRST. I reccomend reading it.

Re: FIRST, Gael Force in this month's Discover magazine

Great article. I had many people ask if that was what we did. It really got noticed.
There is an interesting link at the end of the article to a calender showing other robot competitions.

Re: FIRST, Gael Force in this month's Discover magazine

Nicely written article - congrats to Nypro for getting some great positive press. Even though the end wasn't exactly the one we had hoped for - picking your team as our partner was a no brainer. You had a great robot, an awesome team and I wish you the best this year. Hope we can get together again at Nationals and finish strong together. Have a great season!

Re: FIRST, Gael Force in this month's Discover magazine

definitly a good article, and a pretty long one at that. They covered a lot, the fees, how its not battle bots, etc. I liked how the journalist described capping the goals as "tees". I had never heard that term used before - but its a good way to describe it.
