About Us!
Ever since its beginning three years ago, Viking Robotics, also known as Team 4098, has aspired to achieve the same goals as those of First Robotics: to attract, stimulate, and motivate young adults to take an interest and part in science, engineering, and technology. Team 4098 consists of many dedicated high school students and several coaches. These include Amanda Dunham, Carla Lilly, and Steve Anderson. They work daily to inspire students and to help them to achieve their goals.

What We Stand For
01
This year's challenge is called Steamworks. As the name implies, the challenge is steampunk themed, and the challenge is multi-faceted. Two three-team alliances face off in a race to launch their "airships"; each alliance must feed fuel cells to the boilers located on each side of the field to provide power to their respective airships, which are located in the middle of the field. For the airships to operate, however; each alliance
must also send up gears to team members
within the airship, where they will be fitted
into place and used to power four separate
propellers. Some unique aspects of this years
project are the nature of the hands-on aspect
of the competition as well as its theme. We
look forward to seeing how our fellow teams
will tackle this challenge!
This Years Objective: Steamworks!
