Meet the Crew

Team Captain
Patrik H. - The Shadow Broker
I like everything that has to do something with a computer. Creating games with more than 15K downloads, developing various websites for helping people or working on robots? I got you covered. I came to the US for half a year from Czechia, developed a website to gain sponsors and became a member of this amazing team forever.

Team Co-captain
Beca - The Double Agent!
Hello hello from the Double Agent! I'm from the West Coast, I'm in my third year (and team) of FRC, and this is probably my favorite one so far! My specialty's... frankly, just logistics. And then banging stuff with hammers. Or wrenches, or drills, or tape measures. I enjoy doodling and listening to music, and gaming and reading take up a lot of my time too! I wanna learn more about mechanical because I think that solving problems is really fun, and again, percussive maintenance is the most effective field of engineering.

Field Build
Jericho - The Intern
I am the jack of all trades, I like Legos, cars and building things in general. I'm also a member of an FTC team called NanoTACObots.

Field Build
Kaylei - The Wraith
I love to do crafts. I do hip hop and I love animals. I have five dogs and two cats and I'm part of an awesome robotics team where I get to learn new things everyday

Data Division
Isaac - The Slippery Ice
I am still writing my story

Data Division
Nehemiah - MECHAMANCER
I enjoy technology, and getting an opportunity to help make or learn about it. I am currently a high school senior, who in that time, obtained certifications in python, participated in engineering contests and courses and is currently in dual enrolment within CPCC on route to obtain a Mechatronics Engineering Pathway Certification. I also have a passion when I'm able to help create something, whether it be solutions for a problem using intution or perhaps art

Safety Captain
Joey - The Getaway Driver
I've always loved STEM and all the cool things involved in it. When I joined the this team my love for STEM got upgraded from a hobby and the occasional project to building a physical robot and then competing with it! I also really like to play video games...

Capital Crew
Mo - The Mastermind
My name is Moaya but my friends call me Mo. I am in the 11th Grade, and I really enjoy it. I joined robotics because I wanted to receive experience in engineering and computer science. I am currently working with build and I’ll likely be with code as well. I recreationally play basketball. My favorite food is undetermined because all of them are so delicious. My heisted skill would probably be planning or organizing the heist. I like helping out in ways that aren’t obvious but extremely beneficial.

Publicity Posse
Cameron - The Phantom Striker
I am still writing my story

Capital Crew
Filip - The Gadgeteer
As my nickname suggests, I've always been into building things. Coming from the Czech Republic, I jumped at the opportunity to work on this robot and be part of an incredible team. Oh, and for the record—pineapple absolutely belongs on pizza!

Build Mentor
Mr. John - The Toolmaker
I’m a Michigan State graduate mechanical design engineer, third generation metal working business owner, semi-retired here in Charlotte NC. This past season I was one of the build mentor's on Team #4290 (FRC). With my assistance we won the Mecklenburg District Engineering Inspiration Award and competed in FNC’s 2024 District Championship. I look to enhance my robot build expertise by assisting one of our local FTC/FRC Team's this upcoming season.

Build Mentor
Mr. Eric - Mech Wizard
I genuinely want those who struggle in their path to know that things will be rough, but if they stay on course, they will achieve their goals

The Boss
Ms. Dorian - Artisan / The Strategist
I moved from Mexico to Los Angeles, CA in 2007, graduated as a IT Specialist, and moved to Las Vegas NV in 2011. In 2020 I moved to Charlotte and do logicky thingamabobs

Finance Mentor
Ms. Portia- The Crooked Banker
I got involved in robotics two years ago when my daughter joined a team at our rec center. My first experience was at a district qualifier, where I was amazed by the talented students, dedicated mentors, and spirit of cooperatition. I became a mentor and completed the season.
​
In 2024, I helped start The H.E.I.S.T. team when my son, a rising freshman, became interested in robotics. With 27 years in business, I bring my CPA, MBA, and experience as a Partner in a commercial real estate firm overseeing 80+ employees. I’m excited to support and guide the incredible students of Team 10077!

Build Mentor
