Are you a displaced FIRSTer?

[Goobergunch]

I'm an #1168 alumnus from the Philadelphia area who now goes to college at Harvey Mudd, which is in Claremont, CA (near Los Angeles). A 2,687 mile displacement. I don't know of any teams in the immediate vicinity, either, and I don't have any real means of transportation (LA's public transport system is rather nonexistant).

I'd ponder trying to get Mudd to sponsor a team at a local high school, but the whole "being a freshman" thing doesn't really make this particularly possible. I guess it's going to be a year for remote-mentoring Malvern Robotics....

Team 968 is in West Covina which is fairly close to Claremont. I'm not sure if that helps you or not.

Team 968, RAWC is definitely the closest to Claremont. If you're willing to go a little farther there are Teams 867, 995, 1159, and 1160. I know 1160 is actively looking for mentoring help. They are about 20 miles from Claremont. Contact me if you need help getting in touch with somebody. Team 1160 has a member or two running around here. Transportation would certainly be an issue, but maybe somebody would be willing to come get you. It isn't that far by LA standards.
