RoboJags is a Robotics Club, made up of High School Students
at the Genesee Valley Central School.
We are the only Robotics Club in the Southern Tier competing
in the FRC, First Robotics Challenge (the highest level of FIRST).
FIRST is an international, collegiate level program that
focuses on building a team that builds more than just a robot; the program
inspires students to become professionals, collaborators, and community-based
citizens.
We are building a robot to compete in the First Steamworks
Challenge. Plans are to attend the Finger Lakes Regional at RIT and the Buckeye
Regional in Cleveland. For more
information on the Challenge please visit

As with everything these days, we are in need of funding to
reach our goals, so we are always looking for sponsorship.
In attempts to raise additional funds, we are hosting a
Pancake Dinner on March 11th.
Also, we recently set up an on-going drop off account at the
Wellsville Redemption Center. Anyone can
donate the profits of their redeemable cans and bottles to our group at any
time.
While the group does include teachers from our district we
are on the lookout for skilled professionals in our area that would be willing
to assist us with mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, and any other
skills related to robotic construction.
If you would like to purchase pre-sale tickets to our
Pancake Dinner or would like to offer your skills to assist us, please e-mail
us at either cbowen@genvalley.org or jworboys@genvalley.org.
