== TechnoMages - Programming and Software Inspection Team ==
+
Our basic plan is to ask you all to host the community events and Steve (that's me) will help you run them. I will bring at least one field, a computer, a printer, and an monitor. We will hopefully all go to each other's gatherings and improve our robots. If we can sponsorship, GREAT!!! If not, by sharing our time, effort and assets - we can all have more places to go, more opportunities to learn and more exposure to like-minded folks who are willing to make a difference their kid's lives and our communities potential.

We have recently formed a ''NEW'' elite group, the TechnoMages. This group travels with Steve Rhoads, and volunteers to be the Software Inspection and Programming Assistance team at an event (scrimmage, tournament, workshop and seminar). We travel throughout the PA, NJ, DE, MD area. We may consider reaching up to NY and over to RI and MA.

Currently our super-powers are around RobotC and easyC. MPLab will have to find another set of Super Heroes to support it. Keep checking back to see when the next set of programming challengs will be held.  
+
If at all possible, I am asking that we keep team registration costs to a bare minimum. We'll ask all teams to help in the clean-up (nobody leaves until the location is spotless). We encourage the venues to sell snacks to recover whatever revenue you might have made via the registrations, and additionally ask for donations - if you can't eat the snacks for some reason (like me, I need to stay away from gluten and wheat).

== June 2010 - Cub Scout Day Camp ==
+
<div style='background-color:yellow'>'''To engage parents and older siblings, but discourage them from actually building the [rising] up-to-8th-grade team robots, ... I'll also be running an "Unlimited" Division. Any age can compete, and you can use any platform. Your robot can use up to 2 CPU units and up to 2 x 2 Ah main batteries, and 2 gamepad/remote controllers. Your robot must be no taller than 12" at start, and all parts touching the playing surface at start must stay within the inner edges of the 11" tile. We'll try this a couple of times and see how it goes.'''</div>

As part of our ongoing presentations to both Girl and Boy Scouts we will be at Camp Jarvis doing a 1/2 day event. We will be talking about robots and having the scouts drive the robots to earn their robot drivers licences.
