About us
We are University of Washington students that form the robotics team. Each year we design and build robots for international competitions.
Mission
Our mission is to design and build robots to provide not only our team members with valuable experience in multiple engineering disciplines, but to create robots with advanced designs and win competitions.
Originally, our robotics club had competed in the collegiate FIRST robotics competitions. As of fall of 2012, we have switched our focus to the University Rover Challenge where we must design a rover to perform missions under conditions simulating a space mission.
Description
DUBotics is a multi-disciplinary engineering group that draws students from the University of Washington to participate in constructing robots for several international competitions. Most recently, the team has been participating in the University Rover Challenge and has to date competed in one year of the competition, submitting our first entry: The Cerberus Rover.
The team is divided into different subgroups that have work delegated to them by their individual group leaders, all of which are overseen by the team leaders. Currently, anyone regardless of major or intended major is open to join the team as most of the skills needed to participate can be learned on site.
Location
The team generally meets in the Mechanical Engineering Annex. For more information on when specific teams meet and do, consult our teams page.
