Mike Hinkle

Coach Role:

FRC Head Coach; FTC Asst Coach; Lead technology and engineering mentor

Favorite Robotics Memory:

I love seeing robot builds in which an important problem was solved in a creative way I didn't think of, or thought was unlikely.

Favorite Food:

Chocolate!

Who is someone you look up to?

Nikola Tesla: a brilliant engineer and experimenter who saw both the big picture and details, and wasn't afraid to challenge established powers (but, unfortunately, was a poor businessman...)

Do you have any life advice to give?

Get in there and do your best. Everyone has something important to offer. The joy of success comes from creativity, persistence and (a lot of) effort; regrets some from not doing what you know you could have.

Do you have any life advice to give?
