Always #morethanrobots.

I was afraid to share my story as a young adult because I'm not an engineer, so clearly I'd "failed" the program.

No way. I found my passion and my career, and FIRST bolstered my skills.

Every FIRST graduate is a FIRST success story.

We are so glad we can help and make our school administrators proud! @FIRSTweets #FIRSTFFC

If you need to wear personal protective equipment, you may as well do it in style. #staysafe @CCCSDtweets

We were able to hold our first leadership meeting in weeks tonight! It was great to see our Flagship & coaches "face to face" while discussing lessons learned & next steps. We hope to meet for ice cream soon! Wishing everyone good health!

It is with deep disappointment that we share an update on the immediate suspension of the current FIRST season and the cancellation of both Championship events. The health and safety of our community is our top priority. For full details, please visit: https://t.co/5Pb8pjULur

[FIRST Rochester @FIRST_Rochester]

In light of developments over the past 24 hrs, FIRST has made the decision to suspend gameplay for this event effective immediately. This decision was not made lightly but was ultimately rooted in FIRST’s commitment to put the safety and wellbeing of the community above all else.

[FIRST Rochester @FIRST_Rochester]

Per directive from FIRST Headquarters, the FIRST Finger Lakes Regional is suspended effective immediately, therefore, we are beginning an orderly closure of this event.

https://t.co/bJrJd890dU

[FIRST Rochester @FIRST_Rochester]

This means that we’re asking teams to load out immediately. There will be load-out pass at pit admin. When your team is ready to load out and your driver is ready to get the vehicle, collect a load out pass from pit admin. Your driver will be directed by security in G and H lot.

[FIRST Rochester @FIRST_Rochester]

Latest updates:
* Finger Lakes FRC Regional (FLR) at RIT is still a go. This could change before or during the event as RIT is taking direction from the local Health Department every hour.
* Load-in begins at 6 pm tonight!
* We are back to 10’ x 10’ pits
