1014 is supported by the Dublin AM Rotary club. We have been since our first year. In addition, three of our Rotary supporters have been and remain central to the development first of the Central Ohio Robotics Initiative, which was formed to get teams in more schools in central Ohio. They were the driving force to establish the Central Ohio Robotics Invitational, now in its 7th year. The CORI organization is now the Center Of Robotics Innovation (under the PAST Foundation umbrella) and part of what was OHIO FIRST and is now WOW (Western PA, Ohio, West Virginia) a group which is working to promote FIRST across the region. The rotary members are leaders in this effort. It is not at all an exaggeration to say that without their support 1014 would not have survived the early years (particularly years 2-4 when it was just me running the team) without their aid. There certainly would be no off season CORI event and it seems likely that the efforts to pursue a WOW district would not be as far along as they are now.
