We’ve been pounding the outreach pavement since the State Championship Feb. 18th, participating in the always wonderful Lockheed MartinE-week event Feb. 22 in Orlando, and last night hanging with friends at a PTC User Group Meeting reception in St. Petersburg.

It’s always fun to share FIRST with others, especially in the company of other great teams, like Pandera from the Palm Harbor University High School Robotics Club, who was kind enough to share lessons learned for our redesign.  Now that’s some serious GP!

Tonight, we head over to Sweet Tomatoes for a World Championship fundraiser (don’t forget to bring the flyer, if you’re joining us!), and next Saturday, March 24, you can find us at the Carrollwood Barnes & Noble to kick off a week long Team Duct Tape benefit Book Faire at B&N!

Then, the following Saturday, March 31, we’ll be at the first ever Tampa Bay Mini Maker Faire.

In between, team members are working hard on World Championship readiness, redesigning their robot, and readying for a build session at our friend Paul Markun’s Tampa Technik shop.

Thanks to everyone for all your incredible help and support, from the technical aspects of the team experience, to the financial ones.  The team behind the team is truly incredible!
