"Bring Down The Hammer!"
4216 Rise of Hephaestus (RoH)
Hephaestus (huh·fay·stuhs), was the Ancient Greek god of fire, blacksmithing, metalworking, sculpting, and volcanoes. He was said to have built early robots to help him move around on his crippled leg(s). Because of this, we use his name in our team name and use Greek words to name our robots.
FTC Team 4216 was founded in 2008. In 2010 we became known as Sons of Hephaestus. Then in 2013 we became a coed team and changed our name to Rise of Hephaestus. RISE (Robotics Inspiring Science and Engineering) is our original sponsor and local nonprofit that provides resources and funding for STEAM activities to primary and secondary students in the San Diego region.
