Hey everybody,
This is Alex from Team 3734 in Lake Forest, Illinois. We are a rookie team and are looking for any other teams or people in the area to help us out this season? Thanks for the help!

Welcome to FIRST!! Enjoy your holiday vacation, because very soon the madness starts!! Good Luck!
Alex,
Wildstang is not far from you. We are planning a pre-ship scrimmage and as an area team you should receive an invite later in the build season if we are able to pull it off. I work until 2 PM most days and can come and speak to the team if you would like. I live in Wheeling so you are not terribly out of the way for me. Let me know via PM and I will give you my email and see what we can set up. I know that this might be a foreign concept but teams help each other out all the time. If you signed up for the Midwest Regional, I will also be your Lead Robot Inspector.
Hello Alex,
My name is also Alex, and I am a member of the SuburBots (team 2115) based in Mundelein in the northern Chicago suburbs. What kind of help are you looking for? Advice? Design? Materials?
Thanks guys, have sent private messages to you both. 
Welcome to FIRST!
