Until the 2010 FRC Competition, Greater Rochester Robotics’ has had a second competition team. Due to budget cuts, Team 424 is no longer in existence. Team 424, was made up of rookies and some veteran members of G.R.R. and served as the perfect training ground for those less experienced. Team 424 allowed a hands-on experience for beginning members of G.R.R. It was essentially served as the Junior Varsity team as they were slightly less experienced, but still worked with Team 340 to improve themselves. The only difference between a Junior Varsity and Varsity robotics team, versus a sports team, it meant that we sometimes played against each other. Our twenty plus mentors were able to split up between the two teams without dampening the assistance that each team would receive because we worked very close to one another and were always willing to share ideas and time.
