Who are the Pallin-drones

The Pallin-drones got their start in 2011/2012 as the "Superbots."  Last year, 2012-2013 season, Superbots competed in their second year of regional events and went through a metamorphosis. Students decided to re-invent the team logo and the name. Since their team number was 4114, a palindrome, students opted for the name "Pallin-drones", a play on both the team number and idea of drones, or remotely operated robotics. Now where back for our 3rd year as the pallindrones and we are ready for some "Robotic domination no matter how you look at it!" :)

Who are the Pallin-Drones

        The Pallin-Drones are a Hemet Based FRC team that operates through the River Springs Charter School Hemet Quest Academy.  Although we are a school based FRC team, we do invite/have members that are outside of our school. Team 4114 – The Palin-Drones, got their start as the “SUPER BOTS” during their rookie season in 2011-2012. In 2012-2013, the SUPER BOTS competed in their first veteran year competition and underwent a restructuring as a team. This year, the SUPER BOTS will return as the Pallin-Drones, team 4114.

          We chose the name “Pallin-drones” as a way of showing that we are the same, hard working inspired individuals no matter what we do. The word Palindrome is a wordline, verse, number, or sentence, Reading the same backward as forward, (example 4114, racecar)

 

The Pallin-Drones' vision

          Our team’s vision is to become a strong, community supported robotics team and to inspire all who join our team to be/ become

Inspired learners, Problem Solvers, Critical Thinkers, Capable Communicators and Global Citizens. As a team/program, we offer many opportunities for members/mentors alike to thrive in each of these areas. Our motto is: Whether coming or going, working or playing, what you see is what you get, and what you get is the best we have to offer, nothing less.
