Jack Chin '22
Jack is in the 12th Grade at Head-Royce. Jack was in 5th Grade when his older brother joined the Robohawks. Jack was not old enough to join too so he helped the team whenever he could. Jack likes robotics because it is fun to make things and see how they work. It is really cool to learn all the little details from the older Robohawks. It is also fun to do well in the tournaments.

Peter Timpane '22
Peter is currently a senior at Head-Royce School, and has been on the Robohawks since 8th grade. He started off building and programming robots, and has only started driving them in the past two years. Peter has competed at the World Championship two times, and won the California State Championship in 2018. Peter's goal is to pass on the skills of precision and innovation that he's developed over the years.

Lewie Eatherton '19
Lewie joined the team in 6th grade during the 2013 season, staying committed to the Robohawks all the way through middle and high school. He was a driver and builder during his tenure on team, most notably handling relations and alliance building with other teams around the world. Lewie is continuing his studies at Duke University, planning on double majoring in Neuroscience and Computer Science. He plans to pursue a career in medicine and possibly attend medical school one day.

Fitch Ji '19
|
Ryan Chern '18Ryan joined the robotics team in 9th grade, and is currently in his junior year at Head-Royce. He enjoys robotics because he likes taking things apart and seeing what makes them work (although his mother wishes he'd put them back together). In college Ryan wants to study Chinese, with an emphasis on calligraphy.
|
Bradley Wu '18
Despite being on the world-class Robohawks for 3 years during the Alex Chan era, Bradley failed to make elims at worlds every season he competed. On top of this, he was working with Lewie for 2 of those years, often cited as the best driver to ever grace the VEX community. He is however, very good at overwatch.
|
Cameron Chin '18
Cameron joined the Robohawks in 7th grade during the 2012-2013 season. During his six years with the team, he spent most of his time building, driving, and scouting. He is currently a sophomore at the University of Southern California majoring in Sociology and minoring in Computer Programming and History. Cameron’s passion for robotics has extended beyond his experience on the Robohawks; he has previously interned at the UC Berkeley Robotics Lab and is currently working at TechKnowHow this summer to teach middle schoolers to program robots using Java and Python. His hobbies include playing the saxophone and melodica, watching and making YouTube videos, and following professional sports.

Nathan Yuen '18Nathan is a junior and joined midway through his freshman year. After playing only secondary roles in team 8000B for a year, he, Bradley Wu, and Cameron Chin formed their own team midway through sophomore year.
Nathan enjoys tinkering with things to make them better. In addition to building, he is currently the programmer for 8000D. In college, he hopes to pursue mathematics and computer science. |
Sophie Max Kojima '18Sophie Max is a current junior at Head-Royce School, having joined the team in her freshman year. She especially enjoys building things, from Lego buildings to remote control cars, and began learning to program in 8th grade. She has recently taken a keen interest in how nanobots can be used for medical purposes, and plans to study Biomechanical engineering in college.

Matthew Chan '18
“I’ve been told I ought to write a bio about myself. But to be honest, that sounds like a lot of effort.” -Matthew Chan
Matthew is currently studying computer science and mathematics at the University of Maryland. This summer, he is working at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, where he writes code for the yet unnamed Mars 2020 rover. He doesn’t have a say in what the name will ultimately be, but he’s strongly advocating for Rover Mcroverface. |
Fiona Chen '17 |
Andrew Wan '17 |
Fiona joined the robohawks in her sophomore year in the 2014-15 season. She is now a junior at MIT, where she is studying economics and mathematics.
|
Andrew is a senior at Head-Royce and joined the team in 10th grade. He is the Director of Technology and Research and 8000H co-captain and 8000A drive team member. He loves testing out new designs and mechanism ideas. In college, he plans to major in math and computer science with a focus on cybersecurity

Nicholas Horsey '17
Nick just finished his freshman year at RPI (Rensselaer Polytechnic University) where he is majoring in mechanical engineering. This summer he is working at Precision Castparts Corporation (PCC) in Groton, CT. They make complex castings for a variety of purposes, including the aerospace industry. He still loves cars and is planning to join the Formula SAE team at RPI next year. During his gap year he worked at Fantasy Junction, which sells collector cars to customers all over the world. He also spent three days at race car driving school!

Sabrina Chern '16 |
Georgia Scherer '16 |
Little is known about the living habits of the wild Sabrina. Once thought to be endemic to the biology labs at UC Berkeley, this remarkable creature has since been spotted in chemistry labs at Harvard and physics labs at Princeton. She’s even been sighted as far afield as Shanghai, although this has yet to be verified. Another fun fact, her irregular sleep patterns have confounded researchers for years; they fit with neither diurnal nor nocturnal behavior and have led some to propose a cathemeral life style, much like select species of Madagascan lemurs.
Sabrina is currently majoring in Chemistry and Physics at Harvard University. This summer, she is conducting research in the electrical engineering department at Princeton and the research branch of IBM, researching solid-state crystals as a potential physical platform for qubits in quantum computing. She hopes to attend graduate school in the near future as well as advocate for the cathemeral lifestyle that has suited her and Madagascan lemurs so well. |

Eric Chan '14 |
Sam Scherer ‘14 |
Despite having attended Yale University since the fall of 2014, Eric Chan has yet to graduate. It’s doubly embarrassing, since his younger brother Trevor managed to obtain his bachelor’s degree in a blisteringly fast 3 years from the same institution. Wild how some people just turn into slackers once they get out of high school…
|
Sam was a member of the original Robohawks team and has gone on to study electrical engineering at the University of Washington. He now works in the drone industry, writing software for a drone company (DJI).
