CNY Drones @RoboSpartans Robotics was initially established in 2007.  The group had an incredibly successful run as a founding team of local FIRST Tech Challenge & FIRST LEGO League programs & as 3X World Championship multi-award Finalists.  Former veteran coaches & regional STEM event coordinators initially met with drone enthusiasts, educators, government officials & drone technology company representatives monthly during 2016 to establish the direction & initial operational plan of the group. Since then, CNY Drones has run programs monthly through a core Planning Committee of committed community-minded commercial drone pilots, enthusiasts, educators and trainers, extending our reach to inner-city & rural populations in New York State.  With the growth of U.S. Drone Soccer, our reach is extending further to accommodate school teams in AMA District II New York/New Jersey. CNY Drones was the 1st Academy of Model Aeronautics (AMA) Model Aviation Student Club in New York State & continues to mentor NY’s 1st University Model Aviation Student Club @ SUNY Polytechnic Institute in Utica, NY.  CNY Drones is proud to be part of the U.S. Drone Soccer Association, as District II (NY/NJ) Directors working out of the Northeast Hub at SUNY Polytechnic Institute.   Want to learn more?  Contact us!
