Welcome to our PUPR Hyperion Herc Team—a group of talented puerto rican undergraduate students proudly representing the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico. Comprising passionate senior engineering students, we have taken on the ambitious challenge of designing and building a human-powered rover as the centerpiece of our Capstone project.
Driven by the goal of raising the bar for engineering and design at our institution, our PUPR Hyperion HERC Team is committed to create a lasting legacy that will inspire future generations of students interested in STEM. Since, we are passionate about pushing boundaries, fostering innovation, and making a positive impact in the fields of robotics and land exploration.
Our primary objective is to compete in NASA's Human Exploration Rover Challenge 2025. Through hard work, creativity, and unwavering dedication, we aim to leave an impression that goes beyond the terrain we traverse, inspiring all who share our vision.
Join us on this exciting journey as we navigate the challenges of human-powered rovers and explore new frontiers in engineering. PUPR Hyperion Herc Team invites you to be a part of a legacy in the making—where innovation knows no limits and the horizon is just the beginning.
