FW: Microchip requests FIRST teams to attend several events

FIRST teams,

 

Thank you so much for participating in the FRC AZ Regional. As many of you know, being on a FIRST team presents opportunities for teams to show off their robots. Microchip is holding several events in the next few weeks and months, and is requesting teams to volunteer to demonstrate their robots at these events.  Please let me know if your team can bring a working robot for any of these events.

Every year, we hold a mini-FIRST event in the evening to entertain our guests. We would like 6 teams to volunteer to participate in this event. This event is during the summer, so school will be out, so I am asking early to get commitments from the teams.
