The New Cool

THE NEW COOL: A Visionary Teacher, His FIRST Robotics Team, and the Ultimate Battle of Smarts

The astonishing story of a team of high school seniors and their remarkable mentor, who come together - not to play a sport or exercise their athletic prowess, but rather to build a machine that will battle in the most heated, sophisticated robotics contest in the world. The FIRST competition, sponsored by genius inventor Dean Kamen, is jump-starting American innovation for the next generation, and beyond.

Neil does not directly work with a team. He and others followed a few teams during the 2009 season, and while mentioned in the book focuses on team 1717's season.

I can't wait for the book.

No disrespect to the other teams, but 1717 is the true model of what FRC should be as it continues to expand.
