Recruiting for the 2026 season

Robots built to compete.

A student robotics academy that designs and builds underwater ROVs, sumo robots and line followers — then takes them to international competition. No experience required to start.

Seasons

01 — What we do

We train engineers by handing them real hardware and a deadline.

Three seasons of robots — from ROVs for the pool to sumo bots for the ring — and a workshop that runs all year round. Members own a subsystem from sketch to competition day.

01

Learn by building

Fabrication, firmware and circuit design taught at the bench. You learn a thing by making it work.

02

Compete for real

Our robots are judged against international teams. Designs that only work on paper get found out fast.

03

Pass it forward

Seniors mentor recruits. Every season starts further along than the last one did.

Steve, the team's wedge robot

03 — The robot

  1. Fourteen parts

    Steve, straight out of the team's CAD: a base plate, a rear cage around the drivetrain, a top enclosure for the electronics, two gear motors, two wheels and a wedge.

  2. Built up from the plate

    Everything bolts to one base plate. Brackets and motor mounts go on first, the motors slide in along the axles, then the cage and enclosure close over the top.

  3. Rear drive, full-width wedge

    Two gear motors turn 50 mm tyres at the back. Up front, a wedge spans the full 200 mm width of the robot and sits right down on the ground.

  4. And the one we built

    Every part you just watched started as a design on screen. This is the real Steve that came out of it, built by the team and driving under its own power.
