Re: Robotics

[Earl Scime]

Luke,

I am looping two other people into this email, Todd Ensign and Ryan
Utzman, both at NASA IV&V. They are going to be your guardian angles in
getting you started. If you decide to go all out for a FIRST Robotics
Competition (FRC) team, we just started one in Parkersburg this year and
their experience would be a good model for you. Reach out to Todd and
Ryan and then I can fill in with resources or anything else you need. I
am very excited to hear that you are willing to jump into this.


Sincerely,

Earl
