I think the closest team to you is Team 122 (http://www.team122.org ) in Hampton about 30 miles East on 64. W&M probably has a shuttle bus that makes that run.

In the other direction you'd have to go all the way to Richmond ~45 min to an hour, then there are a lot of teams. Public transportation around the city is pretty good, but the overall travel time would be a schedule killer.

Hmm...

Yeah. That is a problem, especially given my current rather hectic schedule.

Is your sister still in the area? I mean, it's too late to start a team this year, but maybe next year (if I'm still at this godforsaken school) we could work something out...

I'll check on transportation to Hampton. It's strange because, as I told Dave Lavery, www.usfirst.org lists NO FIRST teams in the state of Virginia in their mentor finding program.

But thanks for the info, Mark.
