NASA/VCU Regional
FIRST Robotics Competition

March 1-3, 2007



Once again, NASA and Virginia Commonweath University in Richmond, Virginia sponsored this years regional FIRST Robotics Competition. This is the 7th year that they all have teamed up to provide students from the region the opportunity to have their robots compete head to head.

As a mentor for one of the teams, I had the opportunity to visit all the teams that were in the pits preparing for matches. This year, there were 66 teams in total and I managed to take snapshots of almost everyone's robot. I tried to get a photo of everyone's robot, but unfortunately I missed a few of them. Below are the pictures I did manage to take. They are organized by team number, from the oldest team to the newst team. Browse through the thumbnails and if you want to take a closer look at a robot, click on the image to obtain a larger picture.
