One of last year’s Rookie All Stars, this enthusiastic team from Hilo, Hawaii proves that it doesn’t take high-tech equipment to create incredible robots. Last year they created their robot with “a drill-press and a hacksaw” and went on to compete in the National Championships in Atlanta, Georgia. Their can do attitude and incredible spirit inspires other young students in the area to become a part of FIRST and help combat the deficiency of engineers on the islands of Hawaii. They are currently mentoring a rookie team and preparing for next year’s inaugural Hawaiian Regional.
