About The Team
Team 7178, known as the Yetis, is a Walled Lake Robotics team that formed in 2018 after splitting from the Monsters, a team that started in 1999. Since then, the Yetis have grown into a strong team with groups that focus on electrical, mechanical, and programming work, all led by students with help from mentors. The team is open to students of all skill levels, encouraging experienced members and mentors to teach newer students the skills they need. This welcoming environment helps the Yetis build a successful robot each year.
Community Involvement
Team 7178 is actively involved in the Walled Lake community, including Central, Western, and Northern schools. Whenever there's a chance to participate, the team takes it. One of their favorite activities is bringing their Tank bot, a robot that shoots t-shirts, to football games, pep assemblies, the Walled Lake Memorial Parade, STEM nights at elementary schools, and other events. During STEM nights, they showcase their robots, explain how they work, and display cool features like colorful lights. Through these events, 7178 inspires younger students to get involved in robotics and STEM.
