= Welcome to the Rhode Island FIRST Tech Challenge Wikispaces Website! ​ ​=

I thought this would be a good way for RI teams to be able to communicate with each other. I will start off by opening this site up to all coaches, volunteers and mentors of RI FTC teams. With district approval, we can allow students to have access as well. I hope this site will serve as a valuable tool in order to open up the line of communication and general information sharing between Rhode Island teams.

Teams may build off of this site in order to start individual "wiki's" for their teams.

This is Ryan Garrity, coach of the Mt. Hope High School Robotics Club, a regional high school for the towns of Bristol/Warren Rhode Island. At the high school, I have approximately 30 students involved during the school day as well as after school in order to work on the design, fabrication, and programming of our FTC robots. Currently, I have two FTC teams registered for the 2009-2010 season of Hot Shots. These teams are team 0652 (The Underdogs) and team 3351 (Paws of Steele). Team 0652 has been in existence for four years, starting with a group of four students using Vex Robotics. Team 3351 was started last year after the increase in interest in the high school.

The Mt. Hope High School Robotics Club is willing to mentor students through workshops at our high school, where we have a full practice field, as well as travel to other locations to give workshops for one or more FTC teams. = = = = = =
