The H.E.R.O. Team
Our Story
The H.E.R.O. Team was created with the goal of building a robotics program that values both strong engineering and a disciplined team culture. From the beginning, we have focused on approaching robotics with preparation, accountability, and pride in execution.
As a growing team, we have prioritized establishing solid engineering foundations through careful design, testing, and iteration. We also place a strong emphasis on collaboration — a belief often summed up within our team by a simple reminder: there is no “I” in FTC, but there is a “T” for team. This mindset shapes how we work together, mentor younger students, and contribute positively to our community.
Today, H.E.R.O. continues to develop as a team that takes competition seriously while maintaining a clear commitment to learning, improvement, and Gracious Professionalism. Each season allows us to refine our process, strengthen our culture, and expand our impact both on and off the field.
Our Mission
H.E.R.O. (FTC 26463) is a competitive robotics team committed to innovative engineering, outreach, and mentorship to develop skilled engineers, strong leaders, and a stronger STEM community.
