History

Since 1972 more than twenty vehicles have been designed and built by undergraduate students and faculty at the Vehicle Research Institute at Western Washington University. Thirteen of these vehicles have been quite distinctive from each other and built to meet specific design criteria. Over $7,000,000 has been raised by the VRI in grants from government, industry and private individuals to complete the various projects at the VRI.
