Norfolk Technical Center is competing in this year’s US FIRST Robotics Challenge. A few HRGeeks members have been mentoring the students – assisting with software design / development, networking, and robot construction and electrical connections.
After 5 long weeks, the robot is moving under it’s own power, being remotely driven via joystick.

Welcome to HR Geeks!
We're a group of (mostly) Hampton Roads based technology enthuisiasts. Our members take part of many different groups, from 757 Labs to TWUUG to sitting at home watching TV.
Our goal with HRGeeks.com is to be a sort of 'clearing house' of all technology related goings-on in Hampton Roads, as well as a home for collaboration and discussion between area geeks.
Check out our our Friends for a full listing of available technology groups in Hampton Roads.

Thats pretty interesting. The Virginia Beach Public Schools is holding the VBRC (Virginia Beach Robotics Challenge). I think you guys should check it out, there alot of engineering minds that can be seen, I believe it is open to the public.
