I just wanted to let anyone in the SE Michigan area that there will be a FIRST demonstration at the grand opening of the new Novi Expo center Saturday all day (August 27). They will have a full 2005 field with some teams having a small competition and lots of fun.
If you are looking for something to do, please stop on by and say “Hi!”.
Anybody who knows lots about the IFI field electronics is welcome!
We’ll probably be working on that stuff in the mid afternoon today.
We’ve got a field set up manual, but in case there is a problem that would be great!
Anyone know Ben Tower from Canton, MI.? He was field supervisor at GRL and Detroit - knows it as well as anyone around here. His CD account “BTower” hasn’t been used since April, but maybe if someone knows him, they could get him to come out today.
My son Keith and I helped set up the field at GLR, Detroit, MWR, WMR, and Curie. We should be able to stumble our way through another. See you there ~ 3:00 P.M.
Going to get out there to help as soon as I can tonight… Barring any work conflicts…
What time are you going to be there till working on the field tonight? I’m looking forward to help with and learn anything I can and meeting some of you!
494 is coming. I am sure we will have a lot of fun!! Who else is coming? 
862 Lightning Robotics will be there.
830 will be there and last I heard, 469 will be there as well…
Our team was told that 279, 217, 503, 67, 494, 830, 1213, and possibly 469 would be attending and playing.
We tried to get 573 involved, but unfortunately were not able to make arrangements with obtaining the robot/transportation. At any rate, I just wanted to wish you all good luck with the presentation this weekend! 
TEAM 245 WILL BE THERE. WE HAVE A FEW LAST MINUTE fixes to make but we will be 90% ready
It was really fun today, i cant wait for tomorrow. A lot of good scoring happened. Hope to see you there tomorrow!
I just want to thank everyone who was involved in this event. I know I had an incredible time and I think we really got a lot of exposure for FIRST. Great job and I hope to see you all soon!!
