Katarina
I am a junior at Hamiton High School. I play on the varsity soccer team as well as a club team in Chandler. I joined the BinaryBots team because I want to become an aerospace engineer and attend Embry Riddle University. I believe that this team and their foundations can help prepare me for college in a way that a classoom cannot.
Manny
I was born and raised in Monterrey, Mexico. I've lived in Pennsylvania and now Arizona. I joined the team is because I've been with the Si Se Puede Foundation for a couple years and I would love to become an engineer. I cant wait for the exciting adventures that await for us. After highschool I would like to go to ASU (Arizona State University) and get my doctors degree then get a job at Intel.
Dev
I am an 8th grader at BASIS Chandler and a new BinaryBot this year. I always loved to tinker with things, and I wanted something more chalenging than FLL Robotics. My goal is to get into a college like MIT, and I thought FRC was a good start.
John
I am currently a junior that goes to Maricopa High School. I am the cross country and track captain at my school and have been running since 7th grade. My goal is to go into an engineering field of some sort after high school. I love working in teams and just learning in general.
Karthik
I am a Sophomore at Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona. When I am not speaking about societal issues in policy debate or trying to organize and launch a business, I engage in robotics and engineering. Engineering, and more specifically this FRC team, allows me to both learn engineering and business. I wish to find myself in the future sleeping on a couch in some office or tech-shop in the heart of Silicon Valley, trying to launch my own engineering business.
Dhruv
Hello, my name is Dhruv Iyer, and I am a Junior at Hamilton High School in Chandler, Arizona. The Si Se Puede Foundation has had a profound impact on my life. I started my own company in 2015 and I found my passion at the intersection betweenentrepreneurship and and engineering. FIRST and the 5465 organization allows me to pursue both my business and engineering interests. I'm excited and honored to participate in our team of future engineers.
Alberto Esparza
Alberto is highly visible in low-income communities within the East Valley, listening to the needs of the residents and providing programs that empower children and families. Under his 20-year leadership, around 20,000 youth and community residents passed through the doors of Si Se Puede Foundation. Alberto Esparza founded the Si Se Puede Foundation in 1993 and began the Binary Bots team in 2014.
Marcos Garciaacosta
I am a senior studying Mechanical Engineering at Arizona State University. In high school, I competed with FRC Team #1212. That experience and exposure to robotics engineering has turned an after-school activity into a future career. Ever since then, I have interested in learning not only how to make things but also how to engineering them and make them better. Once I graduate, I hope to make a career out of designing robots for the military.

Joseph
I go to Paragon Science academy and I'm currently taking Algebra 2 for math. I plan to go to Grand Canyon University, and major in a robotics or programming. I like going hiking, programming and soccer. I like robotics because it provides a fun challenge and a opportunity to work in a team.
Sachin
I am a sophomore at Hamilton High School. I have always been interested in mechanical engineering, spawning from my interest in airplanes at the age of 7. I started robotics in junior high with an FLL team. I was very interested in designing cool contraptions that could complete tasks efficiently. My love of design eventually took me to learning CAD with tools such as Inventor and Auto CAD.
Otis
I was born here in Arzona and have been wih the Si Se Puede foundation since 6th grade. Ever since I started in FLL I have been aspiring to join FRC. Now that I'm here I plan on doing my best going the farthest I can. When I grow up I plan on working in the feild of Nanotechnology. Robotics has acelerated me through my STEM carrer faster than the motors on our robot, and I can't wait for what the future holds.
Jacob
I'm a junior in highschool at Chandler High. I am a returning member of the team. This will be my second year with the team. I plan to attend a technical school and I hope to one day be at the helm of an enterprise dealing personal invention. I participate in this team as a prerequisite to accomplishing said goal.
Mario
This year I started high school at Chandler High School. Engineering has always caught my attention and I want to be an engineer. My main goal is to graduate from MIT. I decided to join because being part of this team will help me get there. Robotics is what I do for fun. Graduating from college will be hard but I know I will make it. One of the reasons I joined was to make my parents proud which makes me moreconfident.
Ruy Garciaacosta
Ever since I was younger, I was always fascinated by the prospects that science and technology would have in my life. I decided to go through the robotics program in my schoo land now I study mechanical engineering at Arizona State University. I wanted to mentor so that I could give back to the program that I have went through as a child, and show others the significance engineering can have on our lives.
Haylee Stanger
I am currently a senior at Arizona State University studying Chemical Engineering. After hearing about this team, I decided that I wanted to get involved with promoting STEM. Robotics is a great opportunity to teach engineering concepts useful to every branch of engineering. This season is going to be great and I'm excited to work with this team.
Bala Iyer
Coach Bala Iyer is a manager at Intel Corporation. He was born in India and came to the United States to pursue his graduate studies in Mechanical Engineering. He and his wife Deepa Iyer have lived in AZ for over 20 years now. He is passionate about engineering and enjoys being part of the Maker community building and programming robots. His other interests include history and economics.
