Aidan Cusa - 4478D - Grade 12
"Hello, I am the programmer for our team 4478D. Coming into my third year of robotics, I have way more intellect on the topic of programming. My favorite memory of robotics is staying afterschool working on autonomous with my friends. I am also part of the leadership council where I make it my goal to educate others on the skills I've learned over the past 3 years. Other than robotics, I enjoy playing golf and video games in my free time while having to do homework most of the day."

"I am a secondary builder and I work on the notebook for team 4478D. This is currently fourth year of robotics. Throughout my time in this program I have gained invaluable skills and experience that I aspire to pass down to new members. My favorite memory in robotics is overcoming challenges and winning NATM with my best friends. Besides robotics I enjoy mountain biking, snowboarding, playing guitar, and being with my friends. "

"My name is Kevin Giordano and I am a junior on team 4478F here at Masuk. This is my third year in the program, and my second on team 4478F. Primarily, I build and design the robot along with my team. My favorite part of robotics is solving problems relating to our robot. I also enjoy the competitions because I love watching the product of my team's hard work competing."

Aiden Pringle - 4478F - Grade 12
"My name is Aiden Pringle, and I've been a member of Masuk Robotics 4478F since the 2019 Tower Takeover season. The moment I found out about the program, I knew I just had to join. The other teams, coaches, and leadership were all extremely helpful to me and others, and I'm proud to be a part of helping others this year. I joined in my Sophomore year of High School, but I really wish I had done so earlier because having only three potential years in the program saddens me, so I hope to do as much as I can with the time that I have. Thankfully, I've been blessed with a wonderful, cohesive community full of nice people, so my time here will not be wasted."

"Hello, I'm the head builder of team 4478D. Over the years I've learned a lot about the mechanical design process. The most satisfying feeling is seeing an idea you pictured in your head come to life. My favorite memory from robotics is winning the CREC competition beginning of my freshman year. Other than robotics I like to mountain bike, go snowboarding, and spend time with my friends and family."

"My name is Laurie Salustri and I am the programmer for 4478J. This is my third and final season of robotics. Next year, I will be studying computer science at Worcester Polytechnic Institute. Robotics has definitely helped me to solve more complex problems and has allowed me to apply my programming knowledge to the real world, which I plan to continue to do in college and beyond."

"Hi! I’m the head scout and secondary programmer for 4478R. Masuk Robotics has always been a big part in my life. I joined when I was in 7th grade and it is something that I always look forward to. Here, I was able to learn so much about the process of designing and building while working cooperatively with my teammates around me. Masuk Robotics has taught me many lessons that will help me in the future. Aside from robotics, I love to paint, ski, and bake."

"As an educator, I have loved watching the partnership between the more veteran members of the program in high school and the middle school students. There isn't a single program in the district that has this type of mentorship aspect. It has been so wonderful to witness high schoolers pull up a chair next to 6th graders to teach them about the different aspects of building a robot. Not only do the 6th graders learn from the high schoolers, but the high schoolers also learn leadership skills through the process."
