Our Mission

Team 5992’s mission is to provide a student-led program that inspires the next generation of STEM leaders by exposing its members to engineering and physics principles, strategic design, collaboration, and community outreach. Team 5992 embodies our school’s motto, Hazard Zet Forward, which translates to “despite hardships, move forward,” because in the face of trials and tribulations we persevere. The team remembers this motto in the construction of a robot that competes in the FIRST Robotics Competition; regardless of whatever setbacks may occur in the design, prototyping, fabrication, coding, and operation of the robot, the team strives to solve and overcome these problems.
