PUT YOURSELF ON THE MAP!!

[Stu Bloom]

I have found another great tool to add to the FANTASTIC Gmail networking idea, this one for helping to locate other teams. There is an online global "mapping" service where you can place a "pin" on a global map to identify your location. This pin is tied to your ID, comments, and a picture if you desire. I have created a map for FIRST Robotics Teams (FRC, FVC and FLL) and would love to see it populated with as many teams as possible. I think it would be really cool to see a graphical representation of the distribution of all FIRST participants worldwide!

Check out the FIRST Robotics Teams FRAPPR map and add your team!!

I would recommend a common format for location naming:

Competition<sp>Number< - >Team Name(as desired)
So it would look like Fxx nnnn - Name ........ ex: FRC 1018 - Pike HS RoboDevils

You can get a better idea of how this might look and work by checking out the Segway owners map
