The High Voltage Couch Bananas enjoyed their rookie FLL year with Trash Trek in 2015, and have since continued to grow in FIRST experiences. Mentoring new teams along the way through Skype and now on a bi-weekly video meeting called Mindstorm Mondays, the Bananas have grown to interact with teams from around the world. In 2017-18, they launched several pilot programs including an FLL jr. rookie year support program where they currently coach 6 teams, and a robotics as therapy pilot with a regional children's hospital.
