Team HYPER of Quincy, Massachusetts is a FIRST Robotics Competition Team that is celebrating its 21st Build Season. The team was founded in 1996 and originally sponsored by NYNEX for two seasons before transitioning to The Gillette Company for over a decade. Currently, the team is sponsored by Bluefin Robotics, Quincy Public Schools, and the HYPER Alumni Association. The team is based in the basement of the Bethany Congregational Church, located across the street from Quincy High School, and draws students from both North Quincy and Quincy High Schools. The mission of FIRST is to inspire young people to become science and technology leaders. This is accomplished by engaging students from kindergarten through high school in research projects and robotics programs, with mentors guiding them along the way. Team HYPER has been part of this mission for 20+ years, and in that time has created the HYPER Alumni Association. This association is composed of former students who now serve as mentors to the next generation of potential leaders. Team HYPER hopes that their impact will continue to inspire others, leading to 20+ more years of success. They are dedicated to carrying out the mission of FIRST and hope to influence many more young people to become science and technology leaders.
