Fox Valley Robotics / Batavia Robotics Organization

Fox Valley Robotics/Batavia Robotics is a non-profit organization aimed at teaching students in 1^st-12^th grade STEM concepts through robotics. FVR teams participate in competitions run through FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and IFI VEX Robotics.

FVR consists of three divisions:

LegoWolves for students in 1st-3rd grade and participate in FIRST's FLL Jr. program.

LegoDogs for students in 4th-8th grade and participate in FIRST's FLL competition.

Coyotes for students in 8th-12th grade and can participate in FIRST's FTC competition or IFI's VEX Robotics Competition.

Fox Valley Robotics was started in 2002 at Rotolo Middle School in Batavia, Illinois as a team of six 6^th and 7^th grade students. By 2006, FVR had expanded into three 6^th-8^th grade teams- LegoDogs Division- and two 8^th-12^th grade teams- the Coyotes Division. For the 2011 competition season, the LegoDogs Division expanded down to 4th grade. In 2012, FVR introduced the 1^st-3^rd grade program, LegoWolves.

FVR/BR is a volunteer driven organization. Parents and/or mentors coach individual teams with support from the division coordinators and other parent coaches. Summer programs are coordinated by, and staffed by, volunteers from the FVR/BR organization and divisions.
