College Mentoring Teams!

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if everyone could help me make a list of teams who are being metored by a specific college. This might help seniors like me who are willing to stay in college and doing FIRST at the same time… i will start off the list… :slight_smile:

University of Central Florida - Team 1083

Clarkson University (JVN’s Team) - Team 229

Worcester Polytechnic Institute - Team 190

p.s - I apologize if there was similar thread made before… i wasnt able to find the thread…

There are over a hundred college-mentored teams. Good luck finding them all. :slight_smile:

Maybe one day there will be a resource for this…

whistles and looks around

Something like this?

I’m not sure if that’s what you mean, but I just found it.

And Matt Leese created this site back in 2001, but it doesn’t look like it’s been updated.

Heres a few from good old Indiana:

Purdue University - 461. (the college students are the main mentors on the team)

Ball State University - 1020 (Prank Monkeys).

Ivy Tech (Kokomo) - 45 (Technokats).

IU also has a couple of teams of its own.

I also think there is a college up in Fort Wayne that helps mentor 1022.

Ask a first expert since I am not a good source of info.

An assortment of colleges mentor our team but here are the colleges:

Team 007 - Bucknell, University of Maryland College Park, University of Maryland Baltimore County.

As for other teams, here are a few more from MD:

Team 53 - University of Maryland College Park (Mechanical Engineering Department)
Team 768 - Johns Hopkins University (unsure if they sponsor or mentor)

That’s really all I have/could find. I’ll add more if I am either incorrect or I find more information.

I know team 599 Robodox is partnered with/ mentored by California State University Northridge.

Team 696 the Circuit Breakers is proudly partnered with Glendale (California) Community College

An additional team that is in Florida and also sponsored by an University is my team!! :wink:

University of South Florida (USF) - Team 1369! :slight_smile:

team 73 is sponsored by RIT

I have added all the teams mentioned so far to the College mentored teams category on FIRSTwiki. I also added the appropriate college to each teams list of sponsors (if it wasn’t already there). For all of those not yet enlightened, FIRSTwiki users :p, to add a page to a category, simply add [Category:Category name]] (In this case [Category:College mentored teams]]) to the end of a page.

125, the Nutrons, are sponsored by Northeastern University.

1002, The CircuitRunners, sponsored and mentored by Georgia Tech

URI is an official mentor to team 121.

None of the Bloomington teams are sponsored by IU (go figure… :smiley: ), however 1272 is sponsored by Ivy Tech - Bloomington.

Why not just start a team of your own?

:smiley:

Team 955 and Oregon State University.

You’re right, it hasn’t been updated. I need to take that down. It’s just serving to confuse people now.

Edit: I ended up deleting all of that today. There was no point to it anymore.

247, Da Bears … sponsored by University of Detroit Mercy … i think.
