Robotics Team
The Rose-Hulman Robotics Team welcomes students with an interest or experience in designing a mobile robot for regional competitions.
The robotics team has been in existence and run by students for over ten years. The team has participated in the International Aerial Robotics Competition and
currently participates in the Intelligent Ground Vehicle
Competition and MATE-ROV under water vehicles
competition. The team has also made presentations
at the BotBall Midwest Regional tournament and to
middle -school students. For more information, visit
