let's get ready to delve into the deep!

The Lord of the Bricks is a community-based middle and high school FIRST Tech Challenge team located in Mechanicsville, VA. Our team competes in the FIRST family of competitions. We are open to students in 6th through 12th grade.

Founded in 2011, we are the longest-running community-based team in the Richmond area. We are sponsored by Homeschool Resources Group, with a fully-equipped robotics lab in the HRG space. Our team welcomes everyone.

We are a neurodiverse and LGBTQ+ friendly team. It’s important for us to show that anyone can do this: you don’t have to be a straight-A student or need any experience. It’s all about figuring it out, learning, and having fun!

Code, Design, and Compete with Robots!

FIRST Tech Challenge students learn to think like engineers. Teams design, build, and code robots to compete in an alliance format against other teams. Robots are built from a reusable platform, powered by Android technology, and can be coded using a variety of levels of Java-based programming.
