2025-2026 RoboVikes

As highest ranking underclassman on the team, Bryson leads with his engineering prowess and knack for problem solving. A tri-sport athlete (soccer, baseball, and football), Bryson enjoys math class, listening to music, gaming, and spending time with friends. He plans to go to college for engineering.

Adyn, also known as AJ, describes himself as hardworking, patient, and kind. He's a sophomore that enjoys basketball and older video games. When he's not here coding the robot, you'll find him thrifting and flipping items for a profit...a true hustler! He plans to enter the workforce upon graduation and work in the construction and landscaping fields.

A jack of all trades, Connor serves as a builder, programmer, driver, and general all around problem solver for the team. He plays football for the school and enjoys Biology class the most. In his spare time, he likes to draw, cook, and play video games. He plans to finish his high school career at TCTC enrolling in Engineering and then going off to college for either electrical or civil engineering.

Our resident jokester, Hamdi is quite chill. This is his first year on the team, and when he's not building and testing the robot, he can be found hitting the weights for football season. He enjoys playing games in his free time, but his true passion is cooking. Upon graduating, he plans to attend a culinary program to become a chef.

A self-described stubborn but smart and caring student, Kat has been with us for a few years now. When not working with the outreach program, Kat can pick up the spare on our bowling team and also enjoys shooting darts. After high school, Kat wants to go to an art school and become a tattoo artist. She has hearing loss but never lets that stop her from pursuing what she loves.

A newbie to the program, Maddy works hard and is quite helpful. As one of our freshman team members, she's helping to build the robot and all its mechanisms while learning so much about the systems. In her free time she likes to watch Netflix and TikTok, hang out with her friends and sleep. She's honing her caring spirit by babysitting little ones and plans to attend college to become a veterinarian.

Not only is Michael new to RoboVikes, he's also new to LaBrae! Wanting to try something new and interesting, he joins our ranks by helping to build subsystems on the robot, CAD work, and even dabbles a bit into the coding world. In his free time, Michael loves sleeping and playing computer games. He's got a diverse palette, enjoying many different types of foods. His post HS plans are undecided at the moment.

Now in his third year with us, Steven also golfs, marches in the band, and does track. His favorite class is science and he likes to play video games as well as hang out with friends and family. His plans right now include joining the military as a technician for the Airforce or Spaceforce. He shoulders a lot of the coding work for the team, which fits perfectly with his analytical thinking mind!

Ian the Boy Wonder! A curious kid by nature, Ian joins us to learn more about robotics. The youngest on the team at just 11 years old, this eighth grader thoroughly loves math. Ian also participates in the chess club, Power of the Pen, and Challenge 24. After high school, Ian plans to major in mathematics and possible chemistry at Berkeley and wants to become a mathematician. He's been working on our outreach team, building and programming our outreach bot.

Riley is so quiet, you'd almost miss her if you weren't looking! As a new 7th grader in our program, we are so excited to have her! She loves science class and takes piano lessons. She's not sure what post high school life will look like, but as she continues to develop her outreach skills, she is going to play a pivotal role in the successes of RoboVikes!

Khloe is a friendly and calm student in class and really doesn't like having her picture taken. New to our program, Khloe has been helping to build our outreach launcher with almost no prior robotics class experience, and she's doing phenomenally! An avid reader, she loves science class and would like to become a brain surgeon when she grows up.

A band kid who makes her presence known! Elena is a shining light in our program and loves English class. She joined the team as a 7th grader because she likes learning new things and has been rocking it with the outreach team. When she grows up, Elena plans to become an anesthesiologist.

Magnus is our team’s beloved mascot, assembled from premium aluminum and just a dash of questionable wiring. He runs on computer chips (strict diet: no floppy disks) and proudly blasts heavy metal music at volumes that definitely aren’t OSHA-approved.

Sporting at least one loose screw—possibly two—his hobbies include standing dramatically in corners, making suspicious beeping noises, and pretending every outlet is a “charging station.”

Our final newbie to the program, Jaxon is in seventh grade and also participates in chess club and plays soccer. In his free time, he likes to play games or read. His plans for now are to make it big and be a famous YouTuber! Look for him to have a big role in our social media campaigns.

NOTME is our team’s most elusive character. Whenever tools go missing, parts magically wander off, or the lab looks like a tornado made of zip-ties blew through… it’s amazing how everyone says the same thing: “Who did this?”
“NOT ME!”

That’s right—NOTME strikes again.

Known for never putting tools back, rarely cleaning up, and always claiming to have “totally read the team updates,” NOTME has mastered the ancient art of disappearing the moment work begins. If something’s messy, missing, or mysteriously undone, you can be sure of one thing:

It was absolutely, definitely, without question… NOTME.
