The Mid-Pacific Owls Robotics program was re-established in June of 2016 at Mid-Pacific Institute in Honolulu, Hawaii. The program has grown over the years to provide hands-on STEM experiences to students grades 4 - 12 through participation in various robotics competitions.
FIRST Robotics Competition is a robotics competition for students grades 8 - 12 that are ready to challenge themselves in creating large scaled robots. Students are tasked with designing, building and programming their own custom robots through the use of CAD software, rapid prototyping technologies and shop equipment. Advanced drive systems and control systems are incorporated into this build. The first students from our program participated in this competition in 2017.

Coming in 2025 - 2026
VEX Robotics Competition is a robotics competition intended for students grades 8 - 12. Students are tasked with designing, building and programming their own custom robots using preformed VEX parts. The metal structural parts require cutting, drilling and basic machining. This program was part of Owl Robotics up to the 2017 - 2018 season.
