Welcome to the Dynasty!

We are FIRST Robotics team #8045, formed in 2019 and based in Castro Valley, California.

We have been student-led from the very beginning. We created this team to fight for opportunities we did not previously have, with the hopes of making it that much easier for our future teams.

Our team is currently a four year veteran team though was very much impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. We have taken the current situation as a challenge to improve ourselves.

Meet the Mascot!

Wallace Mascot

All robots made for FRC competitions are different forms and evolutions Wallace takes.

Wallace, the mascot and namesake of Team 8045. He was born when the team started, but legends say that he is the son of Wall-E and Eve. However, these have never been confirmed, nor have they been denied.

At one point, Wallace had wanted to become a baker while team members were at work with the competition robot.

Wallace isn't able to communicate through speech, but instead uses images and colors to express himself.
