Newsletter No. 3
2025 FRC South Florida Regional #3
⚓Ahoy, Mentors!⚓
Welcome aboard this week’s FRC South Florida Regional newsletter! 🛳️ Before we set sail into competition season, let’s take a moment to drop anchor and ensure your ship is ready for smooth sailing. We’ve charted a course with all the essentials you need to navigate these next few weeks, but it’s up to you, the captains of your crews, to steer the ship!
Each button in this newsletter is a key to success. From securing your load-in spot to celebrating your seniors with certificates, getting recognition for completing EDI training, and more—every detail counts. Don’t let anything slip through the cracks before you set out to sea!
Thank you for being the anchors of our fleet, the steady hands at the wheel, and the inspiration that keeps us all moving forward. Let’s sail into this season strong and united!
Anchors aweigh,

Recognizing the Captains!
Your team is nothing without a strong captain at the helm, and you are that captain. The hours, effort, and passion you pour into these young minds are what turn their dreams into reality, and we are endlessly grateful for all you do. 🧭
To honor your hard work, we’re planning a Mentors’ Parade at the South Florida Regional on Friday evening — your time to shine as we celebrate the dedication that keeps this fleet afloat! 🌟 But before we raise the flags, we need your help: if your team has any Woodie Flowers Finalists or Winners, please let us know ASAP. Let’s make sure we properly recognize those who exemplify the heart of FIRST!

If you are having parents, friends, or administrators join you at the event, they can now request FREE Eventbrite tickets to attend the regional here.
Please Note: Visitors will NOT receive a bracelet, and will have to go through a security check.
