About HYPER Robotics:
Quincy Public Schools Team 69 HYPER has been Helping Youth Pursue Engineering and Robotics for over a decade. The 2008-2009 season marks Team HYPER’s 12th year as a partnership between Quincy Public Schools and Gillette. Today the team consists of 46 high school students, eight teachers and several engineers, machinists and technicians from Proctor & Gamble's Gillette division, and more than two-dozen actively involved team alumni. Though all activities center around the robot and competition, Team HYPER has become much more. HYPER is a diverse group of individuals, who are all focused as a team toward one goal: providing an environment for students to test different interests and skills through hands-on experience.
