Baltimore Area Teams Needed

[RoboMom]

Out to the local teams-

Rockwell Automation Expo

* Rockwell Automation is having a big Expo in Baltimore at the Convention Center on Wed. Oct 25 and Thursday Oct. 26. http://www.automationfair.com/
* Rockwell is a huge FIRST supporter, and wants to promote FIRST at this event. FIRST has been invited to share the Rockwell Booth and I am working closely with them to plan a FIRST presentation in the booth.
* We are looking for a few FRC teams who could showcase their robot. This is what we need:

1. We hope to be able to allow some of the attendees to drive the robot(s) in a small enclosed area. Shooting poof balls is probably not going to happen given the space.
2. Robots would need to be delivered on Tuesday Oct. 24 or BY 7 am on Wed. Oct. 25 for show on Wed. Oct. 25 or
3. Robots would need to be delivered on Wed. Oct 25 at 5:30 pm or BY 7am on Thursday Oct. 26 for show on Thursday Oct. 26.
4. Load out would be after 5:30 pm on either day.
5. Would need 2 students and one adult with each team. No more. Students need to be age 16 or older. (This is a rule for admittance to Expo hall).
6. Teamsters would have to push your robot and cart from loading dock into Expo Hall, and for load out.
7. Students would be expected to talk with the public about FIRST and about their robots.
8. No team banners or individual team promotional materials can be displayed in the booth. This venue is to promote FIRST, not your team. But there will be lots of fun companies that you can talk with while exploring the Hall and you could give out info at that time.

* Let me know if you are interested! We are also looking at having a Vex display and a LEGO display
