_____If you live near Virginia Tech and want to be part of our team, we would love to have you! We need all areas of expertise. We're a team of senior mechanical engineers and grad students but we are not experts in electronics, PR, web design, auto mechanics, and anything else you're into. Even if you don't have any skills, we'd still love to have you. Our team members are indepenant, self-starting, and tackle every kind of engineering and technical problem. Drop us an email for meeting times and directions to our lab.

_____If you're not near VT and still want to participate in our team, we are accepting partners for the next Grand Challenge. We would be delighted to develop a collaborative relationship with your school, buisiness, or organization to work on new and innovative vehicle subsystems. Areas of interest to us are stereo vision obstacle detection, robotic platform / manipulator development, advanced laser sensors, geometric terrain mapping, landmark-based localization, and land vehicle kinematics. If you have an area of expertise that you think could help VTGC push the limits in autonomous navigation we want to hear your ideas.

_____If you cannot participate directly on our team, we desperately need monetary and equipment sponsors. Our student team relies on our generous sponsors to provide support for our efforts. Unfortunately, cutting-edge components and sensor technology are not cheap. Every cent donated to the team is used to purchase components for our vehicles. Every bit of support counts and is greatly appreciated. If you would like to see your product demonstrated on top-of-the-line autonomous vehicles, contact us to see how we can work together. Contact VTGC via email for more information on donations.
