I'll talk to 116 about it at tomorrow's meeting (and at our ice cream social tonight probably too... ). Sounds like a blast, August 2006 seemed empty without either the Maryland State Fair or Capital Clash competitions!

ill bring it up to team 540 today! ... thats really really close to us!

[JesseK]

I'll bring it up to the rest of the mentors at dinner tonight. That's right at the start of the school year and is a GREAT way to regain interest from returning students so they aren't so bored and burnt out during workshops.

ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!! lol - (287 mi about 5 hours 0 mins) (not too bad I guess.. )
(And volunteering maybe?)

August is usually such a boring month for me.

Maybe this is a chance to stir things up round then.

Is the venue anywhere near the Inner Harbor?
That's the only place I've ever been to in MD/Baltimore area.

Depending on traffic it is a 10-15 minute drive to the inner harbour

I shall mention it to my Gearheads and see what we can pull off

[Storcky]

I hope GaCo can make it. Sounds like fun!

Hi..

This must be the competition our lead teacher mentioned....this and maybe the state fair in Richmond in late sept-early oct. were two we have talked about...But this one is cool with me...I'm a Baltimore native and my mom and brothers still live there (I went to Towson high and one of my brothers went to Parkville which has a robotics team (another is a grad of Reisterstown)

Hope to be there

Is that 24 teams counting BAA members or not counting them?

[Athleticgirl389]

And maybe I missed it on there... but is there a spot for volunteering? If so, I'd be more than happy to help

[RoboMom]

For now, if you would like to volunteer, send me an email to jbeatty@usfirst.org and I will pass on to the volunteer committee (I don't want to post their emails)
Put your name, email, phone, experience and which positions you would like to volunteer for. I've already heard from a few people.

Hey you can definitely volunteer to help with the Battle of Baltimore! What did you have in mind? There are lots of spots open as we are just getting our volunteer roster going - do you think you could help with set up or strike? What roles have you already helped with at FIRST events?
