From Elise:

Hello all! I'm working on getting together the approximately 100
volunteers we need to put on the FIRST Robotics Competition for high
school kids which is coming up on March 13, 14, 15. Tons of fun,
around 50 high
school teams with robots, thousands of people! And I need your help
pulling it off. If you think you may be able to help - whether just
any one or all days - please sign up right away! I need more
volunteers especially in these positions:


Field Assembly - Wednesday (3/12) afternoon
Field Repair/Reset <---- tall people needed
Robot Inspectors - Thursday <---- technical people needed
Crowd Control & Safety Inspectors - Friday and Saturday especially

NOTE: Make *SURE* you select the "Silicon Valley Regional" on the
Volunteer Preferences page, otherwise I won't be able to see you in
the system! Forward this to anyone interested- whatever their
background (college students, retired, anyone who can help!).

You must pre-register as a volunteer through
https://my.usfirst.org/vims/

If you are a new volunteer, click on the red star to the lower left
which says "Sign me up!" Volunteers will receive a complimentary
FIRST T-shirt to be worn on-site at all times when they are
volunteering. Breakfast and lunch will be provided each day.

Please sign up online and tell your friends. It's lots of fun! Also,
the competition is open to spectators. It's at San Jose State
University Event Center - Saturday (Finals) are the most exciting day.
Hope to see you there!

Thanks!
Elise Engelhardt

[jmw ] Mike is the volunteer coordinator for the Davis FRC event [Mar
20-22] - and I know that the event still needs many volunteers due to
alot of people being out of town.

pre-register through the VIMS system and specify Sacramento-UC Davis
