Welcome to Copperhead Robotics!

Copperhead Robotics is FIRST Robotics Competition Team 401 from Christiansburg, Virginia. As part of FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) we strive to fulfill their mission of inspiring young people to be science and technology leaders by engaging them in exciting mentor-based programs that build science, engineering and technology skills, that inspire innovation, and that foster well-rounded life capabilities including self-confidence, communication, and leadership.

Team 401 exists as a partnership between the four Montgomery County Public School system high schools and the Virginia Tech School of Education. Copperhead Robotics student members earn high school credit for participating with the team while working with engineering students from Virginia Tech. The Virginia Tech Schools of Education and Mechanical Engineering offer a senior level course, allowing college mentors to earn credit for helping the team.
