**FIRST EMAIL**/Going Green at the FIRST Robotics Conference in Atlanta

[Kim Masi]

Right now the program is in beta-test mode, and there are a handful of teams (ourselves included) who promised to perform these energy audits and give feedback to FIRST by the fall. Does anyone out there know of any other teams in the northeast that are participating? Steve Cremer told me there were a bunch, but didn't give me specifics. Our team is looking for more ideas to share and collaborate with, so if you are interested, please let me know.

Right now our team is trying to get in contact with companies who might be interested in the audits. If we can't actually turn this into a fund raising opportunity, then we will still be audition our schools (High schools and Northeastern) to teach kids and the community about the importance of saving energy.
