Birds Of Prey 🦅

Save the date: 11/7 to 11/14 Bird's of Prey will be hosting a food drive from the Pathways main office. All proceeds will be sent to local homeless shelters.

There are 4 classes of fire extinguisher. There are A, B, C and D which each put out a different type of fire. The chart below is a good example of the different types of extinguishers that can put out unique fires. Thanks @FRC175 for tagging us for this #. #FIRSTAtHomeSafety

Today and every day we remember the wonderful contributions Woodie Flowers made to @FIRSTweets, engineering and humanity. #WalkLikeWoodie #GraciousProfessionalism

We’re gearing up our New England Awards Week Monday, April 27. We are grateful to all of our sponsors who stepped up to support the 4 FRC events we were fortunate to hold, as well as the overall mission of NEFIRST. #WeAreNE #NEFIRST #FIRST #FIRSTInspires #InfiniteRecharge #FRC

One of our newest sponsors, @OkayIndustries, is partnering with @CSDNBCT and the Community Foundation of Greater New Britain to create additional PPE for Hartford Health Care and New Britain Hospital! nbcconnecticut.com/news/local/oka…

Meetings are canceled because Hartford Public Schools is closed indefinitely but we made sure our robot isn’t lonely while we are away

It is with deep disappointment that we share an update on the immediate suspension of the current FIRST season and the cancellation of both Championship events. The health and safety of our community is our top priority. For full details, please visit: firstinspires.me/qGkJ50yKf1u

Today, the Birds of Prey would like to shout out @prattandwhitney for their contributions to Team 181. Pratt employees founded BOP and make up a large amount of our mentors, so they hold a special place in the team. Thanks Pratt!

Team 181 wants to give a shout out to @StanleyBlkDeckr. Stanley Black & Decker was founded in 1843, and has since grown to become a Fortune 500 company and a major manufacturer of all manner of tools. We'd like to thank them for all the forms of support they've given us!

In the first of our new daily sponsor shouts, today we want to thank Gold tier sponsor @UTC for their support of the Birds of Prey. Founded in 1934, UTC works with a huge range of products, from elevators to engines. Best of all, they're based right here in Connecticut!

Our Chairman's and Woodie Flowers Award essays are complete and our Safety Manual and Business Plan are nearly there! Thank you to all of the students who have been working hard on all of our submissions! #makeitloud #morethanrobots #cantrockthepub

A huge thank you to volunteers who helped make today's Farmington FIRST expo possible, including the entire Enforcers team, mentors, alumni, parents, & members of @FRC4557 @Bobcat_Robotics @team3182 @frcteam7462 @birdsofprey181 and @ler8699. #MoreThanRobots #weareNE

We took a break from the busy build season to volunteer at the Farmington FLL & FLLjr expo hosted by @team178. We did things like reviewing the amazing projects done by FLL jr teams and refereeing the FLL scrimmage. #morethanrobots
