nanoCom, makers of iSpQ VideoChat, is the proud sponsor of a FIRST Robotics team that is composed of local high school students, college mentors, and practicing engineers. The team, called “Hokie Guard” Team 401, recently took first place out of sixty-three robots in a regional competition and won the Motorola Design Excellence award. Students that participate in the program learn about math, science, engineering and technology.
nanoCom has sponsored the team since its inception, six years ago, by providing financial and engineering resources. “Participating in the robotics program has been a fun and rewarding experience for all of us,” said Bob Summers, President of nanoCom. “Through this program we get a chance to help students reach their potential.”
