Mentoring
FIRST® Robotics Competition (FRC)
In 2011 and 2012, Team 2655 mentored FIRST Robotics Competition Team #3845 The Yellow Jackets from Carver High School in Winston-Salem, NC through site visits. Mentoring other FRC teams allows us to share what we have learned throughout our four years as a team.
The Flying RoboPuggles; a team founded,
coached and mentored by The Flying Platypi
FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL)
The Flying Platypi put an emphasis on mentoring younger FIRST® teams since many of us were members of FIRST® LEGO® League (FLL) and understand the difference a great mentor can make. Mentors from our team spend up to four hours a week for about five months helping our FLL® teams prepare for North Carolina regional competitions. Since 2008 The Flying Platypi have mentored twelve and founded two FLL® teams.
This year our FLL® Teams were:- The Sausage Nuggets from Our Lady of Grace Catholic School
- The Bonzai Bananas from the Natural Science Center of Greensboro
- The Flying RoboPuggles from the Natural Science Center of Greensboro
