Robotics is one of the hottest team “sports” for kids – some get involved through school, but there are other ways too, like the team that Brian Conte e-mailed WSB about:

I am forming a West Seattle team to enter the FIRST robot building competition. FIRST is an organization that helps kids 9-14 learn about teamwork, research, and of course robotics. We are starting Monday, and we currently have 7 out of the maximum 10 kids – so still have a few open slots left.

More details are available online here, including how to contact Brian (ASAP!) to let him know about a potential team member.
