Section 3 | What have we done in the past with our BFFs?
Buffalo First Family or BFF was established in 2015. The BFF Leadership Board was founded by FRC4930 (Electric Mayhem) in 2017. It is were are mentors serve as regional FLL,FTC, and FRC Coordinators. It is mainly a place where all teams based off in the Buffalo/Western NY area get to be part of a bigger group made up of a lot of different teams.
BFF was created with the intention to create and sustain new teams and events in western NY. Currently we run every single official FIRST event in Buffalo. In the past we have shared lab space for build days and we shared our resourses and mentors to help jumpstart their team.
We proudly host every single Offical FIRST event in Buffalo. Allowing for the enjoyment of what FIRST brings more accessible to all teams across Western New York. Besides form hosting official events we also host non official events like build days where teams come to our school and get to use our lab and provide them with any further aid they need. We also host unofficial events such as Mock Kickoff and UnKickoff with our BFF's where we run a live simulation of the game as well as scavenger hunts and other bonding activities.
