assistant football coach, he was able to focus on the newly founded team. In addition to WBI, he
also helped found Purdue FIRST Programs, an organization that now supports three local teams.
Flo functions as the primary mentor for one FIRST Robotics Competition Team (FRC), one
FIRST Tech Competition (FTC) and three FIRST Lego League (FLL) teams. What's more? He
holds annual summer camps to further introduce robotics in the community where he uses FIRST
components to teach students design and engineering concepts. To this day, Flo continues to
expand FIRST, initiating five FRC teams and providing guidance as they develop.
Wow! A piece of a WFFA essay used as SPAM. I love it. I feel like we should leave this up for the pure hilarity of it!

-John

PS - Flo is the man, clearly.
