About Us
Hello, we are John Paul Salvatore and Jeffrey Qiu, two seniors in high school who are passionate about robotics. We met in a class at Storming Robots, a robotics learning center, in the 8th grade and, since then, have been working as a team to create the most high-functioning competition-ready soccer bot in the world. After two years of successful robotics competitions and the graduation of our other two teammates, we took the initiative to start our own impact project because we seek to inspire the next generation of bot builders. From overcoming the struggles of teamwork during COVID to the late nights testing pioneering designs, we are excited to make this dream a reality and introduce our soccer bot to the world.

Why Mundial Robotics?
We grew up loving the World Cup. Every game, every goal, gets the entire world excited. Mundial is the name of the World Cup in Spanish, but also, Mundial means global. Can you think of a better name? With the goal of spreading robot soccer to the world, the name Mundial Robotics perfectly fits our cause.
