Greater Rochester Robotics has participated in a multitude of community service projects and demonstrations, and the number just keeps growing every year as we get more and more manpower to do what we do. Around here, we don’t strive to do as many demos as humanly possible- we strive to give a demo that makes them ask us back next year, because they can’t get enough of FIRST® . We are also a President’s Circle Team because of our innovative ideas for spreading FIRST®. Below you will find a list of all the events we have participated in since Summer 2007. Just click on the year to expand the list of events.
