FTC 4216 Rise of Hephaestus
FIRST Tech Challenge robotics team
📍San Diego, California, USA Hephaestus was the Greek mythological god of blacksmithing.

In the myths, he was fabled to have built the first robots in ancient times to help him move with a crippled leg. We felt this name captures our "powers" in robot building! Our team began in 2010 as Sons of Hephaestus. In 2013 we became a coed team and changed our name to Rise of Hephaestus.
