Veteran Teams Adopting Rookie teams

[Ellery]

Well The X-CATS have been a main influence for FIRST in the Western NY region typically by promoting FIRST in the Schools and starting rookie teams by having mentors on our team branch off into new teams or by contributing time, and expertise. We've been holding FIRSTRochester meetings at our site, give tours, demos and training seminars to new schools, help manufacture/design parts, lend equipment, share parts, loan out mentors, link new teams with potential sponsor contacts. These are typically the general services we provide as a team to the community and not just one particular team. I am very proud to be part of a great FIRST community here in the Finger Lakes Region. We have some very competitive teams but we have great comraderie as Rochester teams on the road at competitions.

Remember it's not what you know but who you know that will get you far!
