Dartmouth's Mobile Virtual Player

Published on Aug 19, 2015


The newest addition to Dartmouth Athletics—the Mobile Virtual Player (MVP). The device was developed after Head Football Coach Buddy Teevens tasked engineers at Dartmouth’s Thayer School to develop a safer, more effective means to train for contact. Quinn Connell, Elliot Kastner, Andrew Smist and Noah Glennon began developing the idea as a part of their capstone engineering course at Dartmouth. Since graduating, Elliot, former defensive lineman for the Big Green, and Quinn, former co-captain of the Dartmouth Rugby Football Club, have returned to Thayer to continue the project. Along with Thayer advisor John Currier and backing from several interested parties, Buddy, Elliot and Quinn formed Mobile Tackling Target LLC.

Published on Sep 9, 2016


A robotic tackling dummy created by Dartmouth College engineering students could turn out to be the most valuable player on the field this football season. Short for Mobile Virtual Player, the MVP robot is designed to take a beating during football drills, sparing players from an accumulation of the kinds of impacts known to result in concussions and long-term brain damage.
