LMCo FIRST Robotics Article

The Lockheed newsletter had a review of one of their FIRST teams, Miss Daisy, of the Delaware Valley, who took top honors at the FIRST championships.
The last paragraph has some interesting info I am going to look into:
Robotic Simulation
In addition to providing monetary support for the FIRST teams, Lockheed Martin also provides software that allows students to simulate FIRST Robotics competition.
Known as 5th Gear, the software was developed in 2008 by a group of Lockheed Martin FIRST mentors.
It simulates FIRST matches, giving students the ability to practice and try out different strategies before they finish building their robot. Up to six players can compete virtually on personal computers using Xbox 360™ controllers. Lockheed Martin makes 5th Gear available for all FIRST competing teams at no charge, as part of its sponsorship of the program.

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.
