Re: FRC Teams & Community Service
The DiscoBots help run other local robotics tournaments, FLL and VEX mostly.
I have also heard of teams adopting stretches of highway or beaches and doing regular clean ups. Teams have volunteered at homeless shelters or put on free holiday dinners. I have also heard of doing clothing, food or toy drives. Teams have worked with Habitat for Humanity and helped build homes (a way to get experience with tools at the same time you are helping people). I have even heard of teams working to build windmills to help make their communities more sustainable.
I'm sure there are many more options as well.
