Mentoring

What we do

Team 604 has a strong history of mentoring other robotics teams in both the FIRST Lego League (FLL) and the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC). Our team has mentored numerous FLL teams, providing dependable experience and support. The team also enjoys mentoring high school teams such as Presentation High, Gunderson High, and Pittsburg High. These teams have either made it to semifinal rounds or won the Rookie Inspiration Award their rookie year.

Mentoring is a unique experience for both teams involved. When done effectively, both gain from the process; rookie teams can benefit enormously from the advice from veteran teams, while veterans can reinforce their own knowledge in the numerous aspects of robotics.
