In 2016, the Award Winning First Lego League team Gearheadz Robotics Team advanced to the First Robotics Competition (FRC) level and affiliated with the Tesla Science Center at Wardenclyffe in Shoreham, New York. The team was also privileged to gain the support of North Atlantic Industries (NAI), which is sponsoring the GearHeadz with substantial financial backing as a Gold Sponsor. NAI is an independent provider of specialized embedded electronic and computing solutions for defense, industrial and commercial applications. Visit NAII.com for more information.
As an FRC team, the GEARHEADZ were sponsored by the Argosy Foundation in 2016 who assisted the team with a "Rookie Grant". The Argosy Foundation is a foundation which supports groups which they find to be beneficial to their communities, with a mission to solve integral problems in society and to inspire others to do the same.
Special thanks to the Long Island Science Center, North Shore Youth Council (NSYC), and the North Shore Public Library for providing space for the team to meet and work, along with various suppliers.
The GearHeadz First Robotics Competiton Team is now seeking donations to support the next phase in their robotics work. The team needs to raise a minimum of $15,000 to purchase the equipment and advance into the FIRST Robotics Challenge. Please consider a donation to support the kids! The Rocky Point Robotics Club is a 501-C organization, so your donation is tax deductible!
