As part of our social outreach initiative and in accordance with our guiding principles, Heaven Solutions is a major sponsor for two robotics teams, CyLiis and Peppers. This support is especially significant since the teams’ members are some of Iasi’s brightest high school students. They strive for success and are continuously preparing for various competitions, the main event being the First Tech Challenge (FTC).
Every year, the First Tech Challenge (FTC) competition has a different theme, and the contestants are faced with new challenges.
CyLiis and Peppers, our favorite teams at the First Tech Challenge, have taken the time to present us their robots.

The Peppers robot’s design process began at the Quantum Kickathon, a hackathon event that kicked off the season last September; in a sustainable approach, they have reused the parts from last year’s robot to create a simple system with an elevator that positions the cones to put them on the poles. The Peppers robot stood assembled by five mechanisms: the chassis, the tongs, the elevator, the arm, and the pole funnel.
CyLiis had an innovative strategy for robot building, as well as member training. Their robot focuses on two mechanisms: an elevator that uses sliders and a Double Reverse 4. It has a 3D-printed claw with two silicone molds attached to the ends that grips the cone automatically using a distance sensor.
However, both approaches are very similar in effect and successful in completing the task.
Heaven Solutions’ major contribution constituted of providing the resources to acquire new tools and materials; that enabled these bright young minds to develop their ideas and improve the robots. Therefore, we consider our role as sponsors fundamental in shaping CyLiis and Peppers as teams and achieving their goals.
