We deliver results

VRC Team 53D is part of the Area 53 Alien Raider's robotics club from Eleanor Roosevelt High School, residing in Greenbelt, Maryland. In team 53D, we all carry our weight, work together, and accomplish our goals. Our team has a long history, starting back in 2015 with the season Nothing But Net. The last season, Spin Up, was the most successful season for 53D as we scored 17th out of 90 participating teams in the Maryland States Tournament. As a team, we aim to use the knowledge gained from past seasons to, undoubtedly, get us to not only states, but also U.S. Open, and subsequently Worlds.
