7178 - The Yetis

About The Team

Team 7178, otherwise known as the Yetis, is Walled Lake Robotics's younger team. The Yetis split off from the Monsters in 2018 and have been thriving ever since. The team consists of many individual sub teams that are student driven and mentor advised. Our team consists of people of many different experience levels, meaning anyone can join and be a part of the team. 7178 fosters a learning environment where the more experienced teach the inexperienced everything they need to be successful in order to keep the team the best it can be.

Involvement in the community

Along with the competitions, 7178 is also involved in the community at both Walled Lake Central and Walled Lake Western. We bring our beloved Tank Bot, a tank robot to shoot t-shirts at football games, pep assemblies, and other important events that go on. We also bring our robots to walk in the Walled Lake memorial day parade.
