Sign-up information for the Spring 2012 Camp Eureka can be found here
Hilo Viking Robotics is a club based at Hilo High School on the Big Island of Hawaii. We participate in multiple robotics competitions, including FIRST, ROV, and VEX. To keep our club running as well as raise awareness about robotics in our community, we hold a robotics camp called Camp Eureka where we teach elementary school students the basics of robotics.
Information about upcoming camps and club events will be posted in the recent news section.
FIRST Team
We are FIRST Team 1378, and our team name is the Green Label Zealots.
The “Green Label” represents our club’s drink of choice – Mountain Dew. The word “zealot” describes people with great enthusiasm and passion for what they do. Our team prides itself in being full of dedicated zealots.
Hilo Viking Robotics plans in participating in this years FIRST Robotics Challenge in 2012.
ROV Team
ROV stands for Remotely Operated Vehicle. These robots are used to explore our parts of the ocean that we would never be able to see without the aid of these robots.
The 2011 MATE ROV competition was centered around the Gulf Oil Spill of last year.
The Hilo Viking Robotics team - The Hawaii 808 Ninjas took 1st place in the regional competition and qualified for the international competition at the Neutral Buoyancy Labs in Houston, TX to compete with over 50 teams from over the globe.
More »VEX Team
VEX is a universal robotics league found in Middle Schools, High Schools and even College level schools.
Every year Hilo High enters the competition to further our understanding of science, technology, engineering and math (STEM).
At these competitions, rival teams settle their differences and work together in order to succeed.
The VEX robotics competition encourages high-quality work, emphasizes the value of others, and is an experience like no other.
