Registration is available on-line May 1 - September 30 http://www.usfirst.org/jrobtcs/flg_reg.htm (or until all slots are filled, whichever comes first). All teams must pay by mid October. What's required is about $600. Teams can meet on their own campus, or in our facility, the RUHS Auto Shop. It's our team's job to be there to help you every step of the way." Team Mom Cheryl Miller
