In collaboration with the Long Island Ducks, a professional independent level baseball team, the RoboLions hosted a demo during their recent Friday Game in Islip, New York. The team demonstrated their different robots both outside and inside the stadium before and during the game. The team got to present and share their work and the importance of STEM education and the program FIRST with all attendees of the game. This lead to some great conversations and exposed adults and children alike to the world of robotics. Our team also was able to use this event to fundraise for our upcoming season through the sale of tickets for this event.

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Suffolk County and the Long Island Horticultural Research and Extension Center hosted a “Robotics in Agriculture Demonstration and Field Meeting” on Thursday, August 28, 2025, in Riverhead, NY. The event welcomed students from the Longwood Robotics Team 564, the RoboLions, honored as the first invited, pioneer team to attend this unique agricultural robotics showcase. Students explored cutting-edge technologies, including the PhytoPatholoBot, a robotic system for detecting grape diseases in vineyards. Led by experts from Cornell and Rutgers Universities, the event demonstrated how robotics can advance sustainable farming and help address labor and environmental challenges in agriculture.

Zebra Technologies was proud to welcome Longwood Robotics Team 564, the RoboLions, to this year’s annual Kidz Day event. Kidz Day is a cherished tradition that connects employees’ families with the exciting work happening at Zebra, encouraging children to explore STEM through engaging and interactive activities. On August 26th, over 100 children, ages 5 to 16 and family members of Zebra employees, toured the Holtsville facility and participated in inspiring STEM and robotics experiences led by the RoboLions, the first robotics team to ever demonstrate at Kidz Day.  The RoboLions led the event by showcasing their innovative robots, sharing their STEM journeys, and inspiring the next generation through hands-on learning.
