WHAT WE ARE

We are Virginia Tech's premiere robotics design team.
We are a large team, but we believe in small ones.
Each of our 5 design teams have less than 12 people each.

WE BELIEVE IN SMALL, DEDICATED TEAMS

Even though we are Virginia Tech's largest design team, we believe in small, tight-knit teams of motivated and talented people.

MISSION

Improve the presence of robotics at Virginia Tech and surrounding communities.
