The five teams
Not sure which one? Get in touch
Team 1 RoboRAVE
Programming
Learn to write the code that makes a robot think and move.
- What you build
- Python and Arduino code for the RoboRAVE robots.
- What you need
- Nothing. You start from zero.

Team 2 Rover / ROS 2
Advanced Programming
Programming robots at the system level: ROS 2, networking and autonomous navigation.
- What you build
- Navigation and SLAM: the robot maps the space and reaches its goal on its own.
- What you need
- Programming basics. You get them in the Programming team.

Team 3
3D Design & Printing
Design a part on the computer, then print it.
- What you build
- Mounts, housings and parts for our robots.
- What you need
- Nothing. We start with Tinkercad, then move on to Fusion.

Team 4
Electronics
Give the robot its senses: sensors, circuits and wiring.
- What you build
- Circuits and wiring for the robots, and sensor testing.
- What you need
- Nothing. You learn hands-on.

Team 5
Marketing, Social Media & Communication
You don’t need to code to make a robot go viral.
- What you build
- Photos and video for the team’s social media, covering our tests and competitions.
- What you need
- Nothing technical. We’re also looking for someone to handle email and communication with the university and other organisations.
Join us.
