Overview
Project Virgo was an entry in IREC 2017 in the SRAD Solid 30k ft category. Virgo had an emphasis on legacy and COTS solutions. Virgo was conceived during a long car ride as a project for LDRS 36 at MDRA. It was quickly discovered that using any significant fraction of Virgo's motor load would bust the 14,000 ft waiver.
