Now Recruiting: Join the FTC Robotics Team
Penfield Music Festival & Food Truck Rodeo
Penfield Music Festival & Food Truck Rodeo
June 7, 2025
We kicked off the weekend at the Penfield Music Festival and Food Truck Rodeo, held at the Penfield-Perinton Kiwanis Stage behind Penfield Town Hall. It was a perfect evening filled with performances from Penfield Central School District music students and the delicious aroma of local food trucks.
Our team brought the energy with live robot demos, inviting kids, students—and even a few adults—to test their skills behind the controls of our award-winning robot. We also had a great time sharing what FIRST Tech Challenge is all about and recruiting new team members for the upcoming season FIRST AGE.

The momentum continued on Saturday as FTC Team 6996 presented at the first-ever Flower City Frenzy, an off-season FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) event hosted by Team 191 X-Cats in collaboration with the Rochester City School District. The event took place at East High School in Rochester, NY.
Our mission at this event was to introduce FRC teams to the FIRST Tech Challenge and help grow new FTC teams in Monroe County, Rochester, and the Finger Lakes region. Team 6996 did an outstanding job breaking down the program and speaking with FRC mentors and students about how FTC can enhance STEM opportunities for middle and high school students.
