Fox Valley Robotics / Batavia Robotics Organization

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

FVR consists of three divisions:
LegoWolves for students in 1st-3rd grade participate in FIRST LEGO League Explore program
LegoDogs for students in 4th-8th grade participate in FIRST LEGO League Challenge competition
Coyotes for students in 8th-12th grade participate in IFI's VEX Robotics Competition

Fox Valley Robotics was started in 2002 at Rotolo Middle School in Batavia, Illinois, as a team of six 6th and 7th grade students. By 2006, FVR grew into three 6th-8th grade teams called the LegoDogs division with two new 8th-12th grade teams forming the Coyotes division. In 2011, the LegoDogs division expanded to include 4th grade. In 2012, FVR introduced the 1st-3rd grade division, 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.
