Firooz

The godfather of US FIRST as he has remained a devoted member since the past 10 years! His work has been outstanding over the years. Working with the teams in the local community, his advice and services through ConEdison has been widely appreciated by many teams. Firoozs commitment to the team has been vastly treasured as he helped us in our time of need during our first year when our school was closed for the winter break and the shipping of the robot was due for that time. Firoozs motivation and knowledge gave our team especially the foundations to the building process leading to our success. As he continues year by year to come back and support the team; he has inspired many to join robotics.

His help in the team since our first year and our years to come has just been very helpful as his advice gives us a good perspective for the US FIRST game every year.
