    I was watching the live stream of a First Robotics Regional (in Oshawa) and between matches there are commercials. BlackBerry had a huge presence with every 3rd or 4th featuring the Z10. Great to see them targeting a younger audience and actually marketing their great product.

    For those of you who don't know, FIRST robotics is a high school level international robotics competition whose aim is to promote science and technology, BlackBerry is a huge sponsor of 3 Canadian regionals (Oshawa, Mississauga, and Waterloo of course).

    yea, the more they try to expand their target audience will only result in greater interest in the device...and with everyone around on CB spreading the word and taking the time to promote the Z10 is simply amazing!

    I think BlackBerry is recruiting young robotics engineers for their bb15 cyborg.

    Wouldn't mind if BB recruited me off my FRC team.... hehehe...
    -Team 4302 Midwest Regional

    That robonauts (team 118) though..... Thankful they aren't showing at our regional. Might end up as a bit of a bloodbath.

    It's not even fair. But what's worse is that we have Simbotics (1114) and 2056 to compete against....

    I watched the Torronto East regional. Rediculous. Absolutely crazy. They may be the best team I've seen.

    Edit: Congratulations on winning your regional!
