The Mentors that work with the Greater Rochester Robotics Team 340 work in multiple Engineering and non-Engineering positions at numerous companies that range from large corporations to small businesses. Every G.R.R. Mentor provides the team with immeasurable hours, willing to come in and stay late nights to aid our students learn and build our projects. They are all astonishing examples of the Gracious Professionalism that FIRST® is known for and we are very grateful for all of their hard work. Without the numerous contributions of our mentors, FIRST® and Team 340 would not even be possible.
All of us on Team 340 would like to extend our thanks to every single Mentor involved with the FIRST® program. Your time and efforts is greatly appreciated.
