In this ever changing and technological era where adaptation to change is the major basis for survival, the Zimbabwean team has managed to cultivate an army of tech enthusiasts who are equipped with diverse interests in robotics and technology. The team is spiced up with a relish of like minded young adults who possess varied characteristic features which help add flavor to the team ranging from those who aspire to pursue careers in robotics, some who are fluent speaker (they call them the team voices), and the silent killers whom they have named the team bombs who fabricate masterpiece initiatives in silence. One of the team members in her account said, “We love to make our working days nothing short of a great time by listening to old school music and sharing weird food combination ideas while at it.”

The team is highly ecstatic about the FIRST Global Challenge as it gives them an opportunity to connect with like-minded young people around the world and widens their worldview on problem solving especially by embracing technology through robotics.
