WAIAKEA INTERMEDIATE ROBOTICS
We are a middle school VEX Robotics team from Waiakea Intermediate School proud to be representing Hilo, Hawaii in competitions around the state and country.
Our school's robotics program consists of two teams that compete in different divisions. The younger members compete in the VEX IQ division which uses mostly plastic components and the older members compete in the VEX EDR division which primarily uses metal components.

Waiakea's VEX EDR Team recently won the state tournament title at the 2017 Hawaii State VEX EDR Robotics Competition held on Oahu this past January. The team is trying to raise funds in hopes of an invitation to the VEX Worlds 2017 Robotics Competition being held in Kentucky this coming April. They hope to raise funds for equipment, materials and travel needs.
