There is alot of help 75 miles due east in Rochester from the X-Cats, team 340 G.R.R. Robotics and the previously mentioned 1511 Rolling Thunder.
Just let us know what you need.

Thanks for your advice, I will be contacting several teams looking for help as soon as I get some more basics laid out. I already have talked to the Dean of Engineering school at Syracuse, and he recommended me to a professor who teaches robotics. This professor has offered to be a mentor, and team leader so I am already seeing some good signs.

Please continue to post advice I appreciated it!

You should see if you can get a group of individuals together to come out to the Finger Lakes Regional next week (3/9-3/11 @ RIT) . If you want more details e-mail me jrees@cccsd.org & I can hook you up. I help run the New Team Development Committee for the Regional & I was just discussing how we need to build more teams in Syracuse & Buffalo. We may be able to help with sponsorship & recruiting.
Good Luck

I'm from 174 in Liverpool. (10 minutes away from the city of Syracuse) I've sent Spikey a message so we will do some schemeing. The Arctic Warriors will try to do whatever possible to see if we can make a team at Syracuse next year.

If anyone knows of any other places that can make a robotics team in the Central New York area, please, let us know. 174 is lonley and wants some friends in the robotics community!

1511 is of course available to help. I have a whole ton of documentation available for download off of our website: http://www.penfieldrobotics.com/resources/rookies.php

There are also some fundraising ideas on our site:
http://www.penfieldrobotics.com/team/fundraising.php
*Our Patron drive is our biggest fundraiser, raising nearly $18k in the past two years.

And we would be happy to come out and help do demos or whatever you need.

Oh and mark the RahChaCha Ruckus II on your calendar. 1511 is sponsoring the event organized with the Ruckus Committee on October 28-29th. You could bring a rookie team, and we would find you a robot to compete with to give your team a taste of FIRST

Best of luck!

Baldwinsville would enjoy one, but when we asked if the'd want to join our team and make 174 two schools about two years ago, there was 0 interest in robotics as a whole.

I've placed a copy of my FIRST Robotics Owego Proposal in the CD White Pages. Hope its of use to you: http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/1805

If you are looking to get involved with a school that has a PLTW program, here is a link to a list of all PLTW schools in NY state. http://www.pltw.org/schoollist.asp?toSelect=NY

At a quick glance the schools on there that are close enough to SU to be possibilities are Cicero-North Syacuse High School and Westhill Senior High School.
