MAR is a New Jersey Non-Profit Corporation with IRS 501(c)(3) exemption as a charitable organization. It was created in October 2010 with the encouragement of US FIRST, Manchester, NH. Our mission is to promote and implement FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) programs for the benefit of all FRC teams in our region, which spans all of Delaware and New Jersey and counties in Pennsylvania from Harrisburg eastward.
If you are teacher/coach of an FRC team, a concerned team parent, adult mentor, or volunteer in any capacity, you likely share the belief in FRC as a benefit for high school students that is the core of the Mid-Atlantic Robotics mission. Your continued participation in FRC will always be welcome whether you join or not. By becoming a member, you will add your voice to the selection of MAR’s leaders and contribute to the discussion about the future of FRC in our region.
Send your name and email address, team affiliation, mailing address, and phone number to our Secretary, Gene O’Brien, at grob.group@rcn.com. We will share your name and email with other members to facilitate communication. Your mailing address and phone number will only be used by the Board of Directors to contact you regarding official MAR business, and will not be otherwise shared.
