Our mission extends far beyond building competitive robots. Team Waffles is committed to growing the FIRST community by mentoring and assisting teams across the islands, hosting workshops and training events, sharing resources, and developing tools that help teams succeed. Every season, our students design, build, program, and test a robot while developing engineering, leadership, business, and outreach skills that create lasting impact both on and off the competition field.
