The Alabama state championship for the FIRST Lego League robotics was held at Grissom High School on Saturday, January 12, 2013.  A mother of one of the students from team ACRONYM used the general mailing list we have set up for the community to get some help with a little python scripting and GUI creation for an RFID sensor project.  Since a few of the members and other people from the mailing list were able to help by providing links to web sites on the topics she needed as well as some direct RFID tips and tricks they decided to put Makers Local 256 on their paperwork as official mentors!  Here are some photos from the event:
