First Magazine?

[Nuttyman54]

i say an online Zine would be better suited, but the concept is great!

While I would love to see a FIRST only magazine on the news stands for so many reasons I think it is a bit much for such a small target market at the present time. Maybe in a few years we will be at that point. What about partnering with an established print magazine like "Nuts&Volts" or "Servo" and having a monthly FIRST Robotics column or article? I know I would subscribe to either magazine (which I currently don't) if they had a monthly FIRST column or section. It would help the FIRST community by spreading the message to the masses as well as help the circulation of the existing magazine by increasing circulation. The articles could include not only FRC but Lego League and VEX as well. The existing magazine would probably like the paid advertisements that would soon follow from places like IFI and AndyMark and Radio Shack/VEX. Seems like a win-win to me. Nuts&Volts used to do something like this with the Parallax Basic Stamps years ago but I don't know if they still do. It's been a while since I have opened an issue of Nuts&Volts.

While not monthly, they feature FIRST teams, a lot. I can remember 4 articles about last year and the year before's challenge off the top of my head. Not to mention we made the cover this year.

Cool. Was that Nuts&Volts or Servo? Shows you how long it's been since I have looked at either one.
