Why Robotics?

This is my 8th year of Mentoring a robotics team. I do it because I enjoy seeing students that I work with succeed. Students from FRC Team 704 have gone on to study at major universities acrross the country. Many of them have recieved scholarships because of their involvement with the robotics program. Some of our former students have landed great internships form companies Like Space X, NASA and Lockheed Martin in part because of contacts they made through robotics.

I believe that FIRST is one of a very few programs out there that is based on giving High School students with an interest in STEMs a head start on success,
