West Michigan First Robotics Expo

[Mark Pierce]

I know this is short notice, but scheduling and details just became available.

This weekend - October 14, 2006 we will be holding a small display of FIRST robotics, at the Westshore Mall in Holland, MI. Times are from 10:00AM to 3:00 PM.

Please pass this on to any area teams, team members, sponsors, or other interested people.

At this time it looks like we'll have four robots there and displays and videos about FIRST. Our team and members of other local teams have been talking about doing some things together to strengthen the local FIRST community, This is one such event. The intent is:

• Get neighboring teams together to share experiences and ideas, and just get to know each other.
• Show what’s involved to potential new members of our teams.
• Show the public some of what we do also.

This is a fairly informal event, but promises to be lots of fun. Ideally this will grow into an annual event.

Please contact me for more information or if you'd like to help in some way.
