Who's On FIRST
This lists people at Sun that are involved with FIRST as a parent, mentor, volunteer, or any other way. If you are involved with FIRST, consider adding your name, team info (town, team number, school), etc. Note that this is a public wiki. You probably don't want to add your email address or other personal information.
If you want to contact someone the list, you can use NameFinder to look them up.
Also if you are a Sun mentor or volunteer, consider registering with the Sun Global Volunteer Program. This gives the company an idea of what projects are important to employees. Also, there may be Sun $ for FIRST available through the "Dollars for Doers" program.

I want to get involved next year with FIRST Robotics as a mentor through Milwaukee School of Engineering, and I saw the link above to the Sun Global Volunteer Program, but it appears that the link is broken. Could you either fix the link above, or send me the the corrected link? Thank you, and thanks for finally getting involved in FIRST Robotics. We all appreciate your efforts.
