The hard part about this is managing the people who would help to ensure the volunteer work is done correctly. Perhaps we can ask FIRST if they could figure out some way that FIRST can manage our efforts in conjunction with GWCC personel. As a start, we could rotate in shifts of volunteers in small groups from teams with the caveat that at least one mentor from the team a student is on accompanies the student (liability here). FIRST volunteers would only be allowed to do small tasks. While we may be capable of doing the hard, technical, and skill crafts, it is not us who signs the dotted line saying the work is performed professionally...so more than likely any actual rebuilding will still have to be done via contracts.

This may be stretching it, but it is one way to allow us to volunteer for the GWCC while the championships are going on.
