What is TEK Robotics?
TEK (Teaching Engineering & Kinematics) Robotics at Virginia Tech is a college VEX Robotics team at Virginia Tech. Our teams have a strong emphasis on collaborative problem-solving and the design process toward (typically) 1-2 robots that go to compete. Apart from actually building robots for the competition, the teams also work on CAD of the robots, an engineering notebook for documentation, and programming in C++.TEK Robotics at Virginia Tech strives to not only be a competitive and educational robotics team, but also an organization devoted to philanthropy and the advancement of STEM education through the use of robotics.
