Are you a displaced FIRSTer?

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, 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.
